Transcript: Gregg Wiggins: This after-school summit brought together administrators, educators, students and parents—and an actor—to focus on identifying and supporting high quality after-school programs.
Arnold Schwarzenegger: A program should not just be a sports program or not just be a reading program or not just be a cultural program, but it should have all of the elements together.
Gregg Wiggins: Arnold Schwarzenegger has devoted a decade to improving children's after-school options. He co-hosted the after-school summit with U.S. Education Secretary Rod Paige.
Secretary Paige: For no child to be left behind, we know that their learning cannot stop when the bell rings at three o'clock because a lot of learning goes on in the afternoons and we want to be a part of that.
Gregg Wiggins: Paige called the summit the start of an ongoing effort to help every child make the most of their potential. In Washington, I'm Gregg Wiggins...for the U.S. Department of Education.
