The state that pioneered powered flight is now powering ahead on education freedom!
Thrilled to see North Carolina join those unlocking more opportunities for students through the Education Freedom Tax Credit.
Thanks to the legislature for standing strong for Tar Heel families!
So-called “ghost students” steal identities, enroll for federal financial aid, then disappear once they pocket the cash. It’s cost taxpayers and the federal gov millions
The House will vote on a bill from Utah @RepBurgessOwens this week to establish identity verification systems to crack down on fraud #utpol

Fake students, fraudsters, and even dead people were receiving millions in federal student aid funded by taxpayers.
Under @VP’s @WHFraudTF, we’re putting a stop to it.
🚨First on WJLA: The U.S. Department of Education told me they initiated and directed an investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools after we reported that a student recorded more than 40 boys under bathroom stalls at Freedom High School in South Riding, Virginia.
WJLA was the first to report on the situation at Freedom High School and how LCPS has known about this issue for much longer than they're telling the public.
The U.S. Department of Education told me their investigation will determine whether LCPS violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (Title IX) by failing to prevent and properly redress allegations of sexual harassment.
Thank you, @EDSecMcMahon. I appreciate your continued support. 😎
More good news for Louisiana! 💪🏻
Last week, the Education Scorecard named us the most improved state for reading and math outcomes. This week, we’ve earned a “Returning Education to the States” waiver from @usedgov 🏆
This flexibility strengthens our pursuit of academic excellence for the students and families we serve. 👍🏼
#lalege #lagov
Louisiana just became the second state in the Nation to receive the ��Returning Education to the States” Waiver!
This means we have more discretion over federal dollars so we can invest in what works best for students.
Thanks @EDSecMcMahon for working with us to continue Louisiana’s success in academic growth!
Yes!
Dismantling the Department of Education is NOT about eliminating support. It’s about cutting red tape and empowering states, communities, and teachers to raise student achievement.
Thank you @EDSecMcMahon for returning resources to Louisiana!
Louisianans know best how to serve their students – not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.
We have approved the Bayou State’s Returning Education to the States Waiver request, freeing up over $18 million in the next 4 years that can now go directly to the classroom.
Workforce Pell is all about restoring common sense to higher education: lower costs, faster pathways to jobs, and more opportunities to achieve the American Dream.
It’s been wonderful to see @EDSecMcMahon work tirelessly to help return the power and dollars for education back to the states.
Parents know best, and school choice is leveling the playing field so that no child is limited by their zip code.
Americans want more pathways to higher education beyond an expensive college degree. Read Chairman @RepWalberg's statement on @usedgov's rule to create the Workforce Pell Grant and open up new opportunities for students to pursue high-quality, short-term credentialing programs ⤵️

🚨 WINNING! Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon just blew the lid off insane student loan fraud:
Dead people, bots, and ghost students were collecting BILLIONS from the federal government.
“We enforced and tweaked the entire system so we have real-time fraud identity now. Finally, you have to actually prove you’re a real person.”
Unbelievable this wasn’t already happening.
The Trump team is cleaning house and saving taxpayers billions. No more free money for the dead.
For every 5 skilled trades workers who retire, only 2 replace them.
That’s why @POTUS created the Workforce Pell Grant program — helping students train for high-wage, in-demand careers in a matter of weeks with little to no student debt.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Trump Education Sec. Linda McMahon just found out that DEAD PEOPLE were getting student loans from the federal government
BILLIONS of dollars are now being saved.
"There were BOTS, ghost students, dead people getting these loans. We enforced and tweaked the entire system so we have real-time fraud identity now."
Finally, you have to actually PROVE you're a real person.
Unbelievable this was not already the case!
