She will visit all 50 states to learn from students, educators, and communities about effective local education strategies.
U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced the “Returning Education to the States” Tour, an initiative in which she will visit every state and gather insights from students, teachers, and school leaders about educational approaches that improve learning outcomes and reflect the needs of local communities. The tour is part of the administration’s commitment to shifting decision-making power in education from the federal government to the states.
“As students head back to school, I will travel across our great nation to visit classrooms, listen to voices on the ground, and spotlight the incredible work happening at the local level. I am eager to hear directly from students, educators, and local leaders about the bold ideas that can propel success, while also exploring how we can ensure every family has the freedom to choose the educational path that best fits their child’s needs,” said Secretary McMahon.
The tour began this week in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For discernment for Secretary McMahon as she gathers information on resources and tools that provide effective outcomes.
- For school officials as children return to classes in communities all across the U.S. in the coming weeks.
