FOX 16 News talks changes to Department of Education in exclusive interview with Education Sec. Linda McMahon, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – FOX 16 News’ Caroline Derby sat down with Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for an exclusive interview on Tuesday.

McMahon and Sanders noted that education should be left up to the states, and by changing the way the Department of Education operates, more money will be in the hands of states to do what they feel is best for their people.

“We know that a one-size-fits-all education system doesn’t work,” Sanders said. “What they need in California and New York is going to be really different than what the students here in Arkansas need.”

“For instance, there are some grants that could be coming to states that have more flexibility than ever before,” McMahon added. “Governors have the opportunity to say, ‘I think I could use this money better somewhere else, can I submit a waiver relative to those grants?’”

McMahon’s Arkansas visit is part of the department’s Returning Education to the States tour. The tour featured state-by-state stops for McMahon to hear from students, teachers and school leaders about education models and reforms.
