The education secretary said her agency is considering its options.
By Laura Meckler Laura Meckler Reporter covering national education policy and trends, and the Education Department Email Bio Follow March 28 at 1:09 PM Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said Thursday her department has not begun implementing an Obama-era regulation designed to ensure children of color are not disproportionately punished or sent to special-education classrooms, despite a court order.
Published in the final days of the Obama administration, the rules were supposed to have taken effect in 2018. DeVos moved last summer to delay them for two years. The court decision, issued March 7, was a rebuke of her action. Sen. Chris Murphy pressed DeVos on the matter at a hearing Thursday to review her agency’s budget request for 2020. He asked whether she was implementing the rule, as directed.
