LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is set to make a stop in Arkansas next week as part of the department’s “Returning Education to the States” Tour.
The department said in a news release that McMahon will celebrate the tour’s official kick-off in Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee next week.
“President Trump entrusted me with a vital mission to return education to the states, and part of that is learning best practices from each state. 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,” McMahon said in the release. “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.”
