We sued the Department of Education to uncover DeVos' calendars. By looking at who she meets with, we can understand her priorities on Title IX, gun violence, school safety. See what we found: americanoversight.org/back-to-school…
DeVos aide Robert Eitel's calendars show that he met with Families Advocating Campus Equality, a group that wants to change how sexual assaults are handled on campuses. He also attended a Title IX “Fair Process Listening Session”--neither of these included victims’ rights groups.
Following mass shootings in schools, DeVos' Federal Commission on School Safety worked to undo Obama-era guidance on discipline and admitted that they wouldn't actually be addressing gun control, DeVos admitted: nytimes.com/2018/03/13/us/…
The Commission on School Safety appeared a few times on DeVos’ calendar, with minimal details released to the public. Her calendars show two organizational/prep meetings and a visit to a Maryland elementary school: documentcloud.org/documents/4635…
DeVos' prioritization of charter schools and for-profit institutions is another continuing theme. DeVos met with John Fisher, a major charter school donor and founder of a non-profit network of charter schools: documentcloud.org/documents/4635…
Calendars are a window into an agency’s priorities. The choices made by Secretary DeVos and her staff have a real impact on schools and students across the country. We're continuing to investigate. americanoversight.org/investigation/…
