The Latino/a Educational Achievement Project was founded in
1998.

Mission: Improve academic achievement of Latino/a students in Washington
state.

Goal: All students will graduate from high school with the skills, knowledge
and confidence needed for success in postsecondary education or in today's
information age and technology-driven workplace.

Strategy: Utilizing the experience and skills of educators, students,
parents and community leaders from across the state, and with good data,
develop educational policy priorities to improve teaching and learning in
Washington State. All policy priorites are directed at achieving our mission
and goal and are forwarded to state and local institutions and policymakers,
including the U.S. Congress, State Legislature, Governor’s Office, Higher
Education Coordinating Board, Office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction, State Board of Education, and school boards, boards of trustees
and regents.
