Late last week, President-elect Donald Trump tapped Michigan billionaire and charter school advocate Betsy DeVos as his choice for Education Secretary. DeVos, heading up the nonprofit, the American Federation for Children, has been a fierce proponent of school vouchers, allowing students to use public funds to attend private schools. She is also the former chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party. Not much is known about DeVos on a National platform, but she has earned her reputation as a staunch advocate of private schools. AACS looks forward to working with the new Secretary on issues that impact our members, such as Gainful Employment or Borrower’s Defense.
