Brenner Meets With Secretary McMahon to Discuss State Control of Education

COLUMBUS—Senator Andrew Brenner (R-Delaware) met yesterday with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon as part of her Returning Education to the States Tour.  

"I was honored to have met with Secretary McMahon yesterday to discuss our shared belief that Ohioans know what is best for Ohio's children," said Brenner. "Education decisions should be made here at home—not in Washington—so parents, teachers, and local communities can prepare our students for their best possible future. The Secretary's announcement of $105 million in grants for Ohio charter schools is proof of the value of school choice for Ohio's families."

Secretary McMahon is undertaking a fifty-state tour to discuss President Trump's goal of returning education to the states and equipping all parents to choose an excellent education for their children. As a part of the Secretary's stop in Ohio, she toured the campuses of Ohio State University, Columbus State Community College and Columbus Classical Academy. In addition to Senator Brenner, her meeting with state officials included Senate President Rob McColley (R-Napoleon), First Lady Fran DeWine, and U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio).
