We welcome a new player on the education-choice team, the Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options, or Hispanic CREO. The group was launched today at the National Press Club, with a follow-up conference in Washington and the release of a new study on Hispanic students and choice, authored by Jay Greene of the Manhattan Institute. (We'll have more to say on the study in a future issue.) Hispanic CREO will concentrate its initial efforts in four states - Colorado, Texas, New Jersey, and Florida - and will seek to build grassroots support for all forms of choice, including charter schools and vouchers.
