Hooray for State Superintendent Jennifer McCormick of Indiana!
She rejected Betsy DeVos’ guidance to share CARES relief funding between public and private schools.
No wonder Republicans are planning to get rid of her and replace her with an appointed state superintendent whom they can control, on behalf of charter schools and voucher schools.
The state education department estimates that if they followed DeVos’ plan, poor kids in public schools would lose more than $15 million to private schools.
Jennifer McCormick joins the honor roll of this blog for saying no to zdeVos and the right wing bullies who lead Indiana.

Thank you, Superintendent McCormick!
Every public school in the country is closed and the only thing DeVos accomplishes is an attempt to fund private schools.
That was her singular focus, for weeks. Utterly and completely captured by ed reform lobbyists. They run the show.
Maine too:
She indeed is brave. We were not this lucky in Tennessee…
Tennessee plans to follow controversial guidance from U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and reroute millions of dollars in federal coronavirus relief money to support students in private schools.
…
But on April 30, DeVos instructed districts to distribute CARES money to support students in private schools based on their total enrollments — not just on the number of low-income students they serve.
…
The interpretation could effectively shift tens of millions of dollars to aid private schools across Tennessee.
