1.This Act may be cited as the
Working to Encourage Community Action
and Responsibility in Education Act
or the
WE CARE
Act
.
2.The Congress finds the following:
(1)The long-term health of the Nation’s
democracy, as well as our economy, is dependent upon the strength of our young
people.
(2)The challenge of
educating the Nation’s students cannot be met by schools alone. Cross-sector
community engagement, including schools, community-based organizations,
businesses, parents, faith-based organizations, local government, students and
others must all work together to ensure that students receive the support they
need to be successful.
(3)Schools that have
strong relationships with their communities have improved academic achievement
and develop stronger families, schools and communities.
(4)National Academy
of Sciences studies show that ensuring that a child has adequate nurturing
influences, including those provided by community programs, results in improved
academic, social and civic outcomes.
(5)In order for
students to be successful in school, their academic and non-academic needs must
be met. In a study that analyzed the impact of having five key resources in
children's lives: Caring adults, safe places, a healthy start, an effective
education, and opportunities to help others, students with four or five of
these resources were twice as likely as their peers with zero or one resource
to get A’s in school, 40 percent more likely to volunteer, and twice as likely
to avoid violence.
(6)The services
provided by community-based organizations are invaluable in strengthening the
Nation’s young people. Research shows that such services keep students in
school, promote their academic achievement, reduce pregnancy, reduce delinquent
behavior, and promote civic engagement.
(7)Research shows
that effective dropout prevention programs meet students’ needs inside and
outside the classroom. One such program demonstrated that 82 percent of
students improved their attendance, 86 percent had fewer behavior incidents, 89
percent improved their academic performance, and 85 percent of eligible seniors
graduated from high school.
