In Case You Missed It, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) joined Education Secretary Linda McMahon for a roundtable discussion on the importance of school choice as well as tours of Hillsdale Academy, Hillsdale College, and Pembroke Academy. The visit was part of the Secretary’s ongoing tour across America highlighting the importance of returning education to the states. 

Chairman Walberg on the Michigan tour: “I was glad to join Secretary McMahon today on her Returning Education to the States Tour as she examines what’s working in Michigan and across the country. As we visited schools like Pembroke Academy, Hillsdale Academy, and Hillsdale College, the Secretary and I were able to see the incredible benefits of state and local-led education firsthand. I am glad to have an ally in the Department of Education like Secretary McMahon who understands the importance of returning education to the states while putting students, teachers, and families first. Together, we can do right by our students and make education great again!”
