U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige celebrates charter schools in his keynote address to the June 2004 National Charter Schools Conference. He applauds the partnerships charter schools have created between parents, teachers, and the community at large, and the great success charter schools have made with at-risk students. Paige encourages the charter school community to "not stop until we have a quality charter school on every street corner in every community in the United States of America."
