The “Returning Education to the States Tour” is set to take McMahon on a tour of all 50 states, starting in Louisiana, where she met with leadership and educators to discuss strategies for improving education. She told “CBS Mornings Plus” that this approach is meant to focus on highlighting resources states can provide to students, in lieu of those traditionally provided by the Department of Education.
“I think as we make this tour and as I see what best practices are and we provide these toolkits, we develop them and then can deliver them to the states and say these are things that you can choose from. These are things that have been successful in other states. It’s not a mandate,” McMahon said.
