Posted on by Tom Novak

In this segment of WFEA’s Morning Update, Jeff Chidester sits down with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon fresh off her tour of area schools in the Granite State.

Secretary McMahon discusses her nationwide “Returning Education to the States Tour”—aimed at cutting red tape, putting parents back in the driver’s seat, and highlighting local innovations.

The conversation dives deep into the push for education freedom, New Hampshire’s leadership in school choice, and how the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit is expanding options for K-12 families and students across the country.
