Education Week: The Senate on Wednesday voted 50-48 to confirm Mick Zais, President Donald Trump's nominee to be deputy secretary at the U.S. Department of Education.
Zais, the former state schools chief for South Carolina and a retired Army brigadier general, was nominated by Trump in early October. He shares Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos' full-throated support for school choice, having championed legislation boosting charter schools and tax-credit scholarships while in South Carolina. He also opposed the Common Core State Standards.
