NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is coming to Nashville to visit a public charter middle school.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says in a news release that DeVos will attend a roundtable discussion at LEAD Cameron on Monday. The statement says the visit will highlight the benefits of school choice.
Lee, a Republican who took office in January, wants to make it easier to open high-quality charter schools and shutter poor performing ones. He’s also proposed boosting the number of parents who can use education savings accounts.
