Donald Trump Issuing Executive Order Returning Education to Local Control
For education reform advocates, Donald Trump is making a big move toward fixing a broken system. One of his forthcoming executive orders will begin the process of returning control of public education to the local level.
The order will call on Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to review and report on regulations and directives from the last several years that may hamper local control of K-12 education. That report will, according to White House sources, is said to be due in 300 days.
There is at least one good reason to do this: a move to give education back to local and state systems is a complete 180 from the policies of the Obama Education Department.
Arne Duncan, former Education Secretary under Obama, used money from the federal Race to the Top program as a means of getting states to adopt the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Essentially, what Duncan was doing was finding a way around the rules that state he couldn’t force states to adopt federal education policy. Instead of doing that, he just tied it adopting the CCSS to a lot of money that states desperately needed for their education systems.
Education reform advocates, as well as small government conservatives, have long advocated taking power over K-12 education away from the federal government, and presidential candidates in the past have promised to completely eradicate the federal Department of Education.
This is a solid move by Trump, and it renews hope in some of his critics that there are some things he will get right and some hiring decisions, like Betsy DeVos, that were nothing short of well-played.
Kudos to the President for the first of many strong steps that have to be taken.

the teachers union should be outlawed, it has been taken over by communists and leftist zealots! They push sharia/mulsim ideals on students, they’re more racist than any klan member “but only against whites”..
Local control is the only way these kids will have a chance at actually learning something. Lots of good intentions I’m sure behind Common Core, but when the results came back filled with complaints, poor results with no one listening to the family’s complaints you could see it had to come down to handing the responsibility back to local control and successful curriculums.
This should become mute before long anyhow, as most kids will be learning from AI robots at home and in the classroom. AI robots are the future with teachers and professors no longer a significant factor in the profession in order to educate a student. AI robots are not just here to replace blue collar jobs, the white collar professions will see it’s introduction across the board. Hopefully, keeping the education curriculum local will keep it more personal for a little while longer while Robbie the Robot polishes up his skills in the medical field first.
this is great news.
