U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos Sends Letter To Parents

Parents of public school students are getting a letter from U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.

The “Dear Parent” letter aims to explain the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and what parents need to know about it. This is part of DeVos’ “Rethink School” tour.

To talk about all of this, Alyson Klein, assistant editor for Education Week, joined The Show.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
