Betsy DeVos' First Year Report Card
8One year ago, Betsy DeVos was confirmed as the Trump administration's first secretary of education following intense confirmation hearings. With a year under her belt, the first report card is in.
From proposed cuts in federal education investments and failed oversight of the laws that ensure educational equity across our country to the rollback of civil rights protections, it's clear that this administration's policies and values have had a deeply negative affect on our nation's most vulnerable schoolchildren, particularly low-income students and students of color.
At the same time that the administration proposes spending $25 billion on a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, it has also proposed nearly $10 billion in direct cuts to K-12 and higher education programs.
This would mean the elimination of after-school programs, substantial cuts to career and technical education programs, reduced support for teacher preparation programs and a raid of $5 billion from the Pell Grant program's reserve fund that helps so many achieve their higher education dreams.
