Where is Betsy DeVos today?
The U.S. Department of Education tells the Trib’s education team that DeVos on Monday called out special education leaders gathered in Arlington, Va., at the Office of Special Education’s Leadership Conference.
DeVos, who has been a champion of charter schools and alternatives to traditional public classrooms, continued to tout school choice to the group. She referred to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling requiring a public school district to pay private school tuition for a special education student as a major victory for children with disabilities.
