On Our Minds
New Administration, New Challenges and Opportunities
Last month we witnessed the contentious confirmation of Betsy Devos as Secretary of Education. As champions of personalized learning and public school districts, we are hopeful that Devos will reframe her perspectives on choice and recognize that we can provide excellent opportunities for students within districts. It is too early to determine the impact that her confirmation will have on education, but we are watching closely and prepared to support our districts however we can. Check out perspectives on her role from our founder and CEO, Anthony Kim and board member, Michael Horn.
