It has now been a week since the midterm elections, but as the dust begins to settle, many questions remain about what the midterms will mean for education.

What will happen to the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education? Is the Trump administration’s war with higher education at an end? And how will changing state legislatures affect the fate of school choice, civics centers, and education reform?

On this episode of The Report Card, Nat Malkus discusses these questions and more with Andy Rotherham and Rick Hess.

Andy Rotherham is a co-founder and senior partner at Bellwether and the author of the Eduwonk blog.

Rick Hess is a senior fellow and the director of Education Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

This episode was produced by Elli Lucas.
