Preparing for an Expansion of School Vouchers

It's not too early to prepare for potential changes in school choice policies and voucher programs, which promise to be a top priority to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Schools should consider forming a committee that includes board members, lead administrators, facilities directors and legal counsel to review the school's strategic plan. Any new plans should be flexible and take into account possible changes in both federal and state law. Consulting legal counsel is imperative because schools that accept federal funding may become subject to laws such as Title IX and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
