The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the nation’s oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization, is committed to advancing the educational attainment of Hispanics across the country. Of great importance to our organization, is closing the achievement gap between Latino students and their peers, and of particular concern are our country’s English language learners (ELLs). With the move nationally towards adopting and implementing Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), we write in support of the development of a Spanish language version of the PARCC assessment aligned with the teaching of new Common Core State Standards.
