Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was among resignations this week after what she called an “inflection point" in the wake of Washington DC-based riots from supporters of President Donald Trump.
Right before resigning, DeVos announced $54 billion in relief funding for reopening K-12 schools, as well as the ongoing analysis and addressing of potential education gaps caused by the transition to remote learning during COVID. That transition will now pass to the administration of Biden, who will take office later this month.
