Executive Order 13190: President's Commission on Educational Resource Equity

President: Bill Clinton

Created a temporary presidential commission to examine unequal educational resources and report to the President and Congress by August 31, 2001.

Status: In effect. Is Executive Order 13190 still in effect? Yes. Executive Order 13190 remains in effect. See Federal Register record.

What does Executive Order 13190 do?

EO 13190 established an advisory commission of up to 13 members and required analysis of finance, staffing, facilities, instructional programs and support services. It called for a report and recommendations by August 31, 2001, then termination 30 days after the final report unless extended. A 2002 Senate hearing statement expressly attributed a 2001 finding to the commission, but the full final report was not located in the official repositories reviewed.

Later evidence reviewed September 27, 2026: A 2002 Senate hearing statement cites a 2001 commission finding. The complete final report was not located, so this guide does not infer its full contents or implementation.

Administration position: The order's account of educational inequality stated the administration's policy rationale. The later Senate hearing confirms that a commission finding was cited; it does not establish the complete contents or adoption of every recommendation.

Before and after

Before the order

No commission created by this order existed before January 15, 2001.

Federal, state and local education funding and civil-rights law remained the governing framework.

After the order

The commission was directed to collect evidence and deliver a time-limited advisory report; it received no rulemaking or spending power.

A 2002 Senate hearing statement quoted a finding attributed to the commission. The reviewed official sources did not yield the complete final report, so its full recommendations remain unverified.
