Betsy DeVos: “I absolutely support public education and encourage public education in all traditional public schools and charter…”

Congress vowed that the move would, quote, 'not increase the authority of the Federal Government over education or diminish the responsibility for education which is reserved to the states.'

In a school setting, a student has the right to be there and the right to learn.

This Budget reflects a commitment to that sentiment. It also recognizes who actually funds the government's budget--American taxpayers.

My focus is and always will be on students and on helping all students get a great education through an equal opportunity.
