The Trump Administration has said it is dismantling the 45-year old U.S. Department of Education to return the power of education over to the states instead of the federal government. What does that mean? Will there be a loss of funds for certain programs? Are the states ready to move forward without the central organization?

Montana’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Susie Hedalen was in Washington D.C. for that historic announcement. Click on the podcast as Superintendent Hedalen joins us to discuss the challenges and opportunities of the new policy and talk about her vision as Montana’s newly-elected head of K-through-12 public education.
