The attached for your information is from Politico. Ms. DeVos is reported to have once championed the Common Core curriculum but now states she does not, because under federal control she says it has become a "boondoggle". She is noted for championing private school options for K-12. In a separate article, the writer states Ms. DeVos owns K-12, Inc. and exhorts her to divest as she should not be confirmed when she is in a position to profit personally from her public policy decisions. Our questions might include: Would there be a differential influence on schools for the blind that are privately run versus those which are State-run or would block grants to the States for charter and other types of alternative schools benefit all? And, most important, if Ms. DeVos policy decisions dilute the ability of public schools to accomplish their mission, would not specialized services to students with disabilities including blind/visually impaired ones be among the first to suffer?
