[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not one of you understands what the Secretary of Education actually does.  Not one of you.  Read about the Department in Wikipedia; read what the Sec'y of Education actually does; read DeVos's page.  She has zero control about what happens in your local public school district.  That is an issue for your local supervisors, school board, and state legislature via budgeting.  The U.S. Department of Education did not even exist until Carter created it in 1979.  The Secretary of Education has nothing to do with local choice/voucher issues.  Stop circulating the NEA falsehoods.[/quote]

I will put in economic terms.

She will have influence when it applies to the IDEA and other pieces of legislation that provide provision for students with disabilities.  Many of our school districts would not provide the services our children need to become independent tax paying adults without the federal law, they would rather save money now and let the state & feds take care of them for the rest of their lives.  The problem is that the local school systems have to pay for the extra cost, but other areas of the government (state and federal) get the financial savings benefit so since school systems only see added costs and no financial benefit they are likely to cut services.
