Cited in New National Study
NEW YORK - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton lodtiy will release Coining the Arts
Advantage: l^stons From School Districts That Value Aris Fducation, a study by the
President's Can inittee on the Arts and the Humanities and the Arts Education Partnership,
It is Ihe first lational study to examine the success sirategies of school districts in building und
sustaining suong district-wide arts education. The .study represents 91 districts in 42 states wilh
various popu ation densities, total number of students, and funding levels per pupil. The profiler
offer insights that could help any di.strict in the country create and sustain arts education.
"Last September, I issued a call to action to provide arts education in tvery school in America
bccavtse we know dial instruction in the arts gives children vital elements of a quality education
and makes them more successful in school and later on." said the First Lady, who is honorary
clwiir of the Frc»ident's Comrniuec. 'Caiuinx ttie Arl.^ Advantage- finds that the strongest single
factor in dcte-mining whether a district provides iu ts education is the community's insistence.
suppon, and sartictpation in making it happen. So everyone who has a stake in Our children's
success shou d see aits education a,s their cause."

The study was undenvriUcn by Uic GE Fund. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur
Foundation, and Binney & Smith, Inc. with the additional support of ihe National Endowment
for the Arts, the U.S, Department of Education, and the White House Millennium Council.
The rwo-yedr study identifies interrelating factore thai contribute lo the creation of strong.
dis[rict-wid< arts eJucaiion. The factors include a community consensus that enables a school
board and administration to fund arts education; ccnual office leadership and a cadre of building
principals that see the arts as a core schcnl subject; strong arts teachers who continue to practice
their art insi , e and outside the schtx>l; and the acti\ c presence of community arts and cultural
1
organizations in the district's schtxils. including the use of school performing arts venues.
How these ind other faclora contribute to arts education programs is explored in case studies of
eight diffennt school systems. Including Oreenville, SC; Las Cruces, NM; Miami-Dade County.
FL; Milwatikee. Wl; Redondo Bench, CA; Vancouver, WA; Wyoming. OH, and New York
City's Community School District #25 in Qxjeens.
Chancellor Rudolph F. Crew commended New Yorkers for the guina ihe City has made in aris
education:
"Triis study's recognition of Community Schcwl District 25, as well a* CSD 3, is a
Iribi ite to the entire New York City community. When I came to the Board of
Education three years ago, one of my top priori lies was to restore arts education for
students. Thrt>ugh the teamwork of parents, teachers, administrators, and our
all
culiiiral institutions and civic organizaiions. we are seeing the integration of the arts
cul
into all areas of our school communities. This success resulted in the Mayor's
anntbuncement that his initial year io-year funding for Project ARTS (Arts
annt
Restoration Throughout the Schools) would be made a permanent line in the City
Resi
1.1
bud i€\ hope that our city's consensus in restoring arls education, along with thi.s
linvly study, will encourage other school dislricls (o easure that all children receive
an education in the arts."
"Case stud) " districts, such as Community Sch«x>l District #2S. were visited by the study's
research tcalms, which included school supcrinlendenis as well a.« oris «duuil.ion researchers. An
school districts were selected for follow-up interviews and information-gathering
additional
ui'ler responjding to surveys and .submitting district applications. More information about the 91
districts, as Well as the roughly 200 other disirict.s which applied for consideration, can be found

Mrs. Clinton Steers Clear Of N.Y. Political Plans
REUTERS J
2.48 p.m. ET (1949 GK^TT) March 3, 1999
NEW YORK, Marsh 3 — First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton sounded like a
candidate on a much-heralded visit to New York Wednesday but did not
reveal her intentions over a possible Senate campaign that has been die talk
of the town.
"There were some who thought I'd have an announcement," Clinton said
with a dramatic pause during a speech to the Democratic Party's Women's
Leadership Forum. "But I don't."
Clinton was making her first trip to New York after weeks of feverish
speculation over a possible run for a vacant U.S. Senate seat in the state next
year.
In her speech, she discussed themes and policies of her husband's
administration including health care, education, crime fighting and Social
Security. She also talked about women's rights and the future of U S
politics.
"And so I begin to think about the future in political terms because I've
always believed that we are at our best as a nation when everybody
understands their obUgations as a citizen," Clinton said in her speech.
She said that on her travels around the world and across the United States
she was "struck time and time and time again" by the good fortune of
Americans, particularly women.
"This is a great, great time to be a woman in America," she said. "We are so
blessed and we should be so grateful no matter what our personal
circumstances are that we live at a time in a society where we do have the
opportunities that we have before us today."
"And among the debts that we owe to those who came before are to be
involved in the political process that makes the American democracy work,"
she said to loud applause.
Clinton's first stop Wednesday was a visit to a school in the city's Queens
borough, where she was loudly applauded by about 500 students and adults
when she deUvcrcd a 20-minute speech on the value of arts and education.
"We need all the help we can get to return the arts to its rightfiil place within
our schools," said Clinton, who avoided a mob of reporters and T V crews.
However, her escort on the trip. Democratic Rep. Gary Ackerman, who
rqjresents Queens in Congress, said he discussed a possible campaign witii
Clinton Tuesday night and indicated she was considering a nm.
"She told me she was going to consider it," Ackerman said. "She indicated
she had not made up her mind but clearly it is something that is occupying a
great deal of her thoughts in between doing all these pubhc events "

Description
An account of the resource
In 1999, Hillary Clinton formed an exploratory committee to pursue the possibility of running for the U.S. Senate seat in New York. The seat was resigned by long-time New York Senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan. In February 2000, the First Lady officially launched her senate campaign with an announcement at the State University of New York. Hillary Clinton first faced opposition by Republican candidate Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and later by New York Congressman Rick Lazio. Hillary Clinton won the election on November 7, 2000, with 55 percent of the vote. The First Lady was sworn in as United States Senator on January 3, 2001.
The types of records contained in this consist largely of the First Lady’s Press Office files that include draft schedules, press clippings, memos, event attendee lists and email. The collection also contains records created by White House staff members that reference the campaign.
