She is, and I would expect her to be able to have an outsized influence in comparison to some of the other cabinet secretaries. I sincerely doubt Trump has much opinion at all one way or the other regarding public education.

This would require a few Republicans to vote against the Republican president's cabinet appointments. So, no.

Halfway through his interview with The Washington Post, Trump shared a bit of news: He already has decided on his slogan for a reelection bid in 2020.
“Are you ready?” he said. “ ‘Keep America Great,’ exclamation point.”
“Get me my lawyer!” the president-elect shouted.
Two minutes later, one arrived.
Man I hate the USA Today website.

Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who represents Sandy Hook, the site of the 2012 school shooting, asked DeVos if she believes guns have "any place in and around schools."
"I think that is best left to locales and states to decide," she said.
After Murphy pushed DeVos about why she can't say definitively whether they belong, DeVos brought up a story Sen. Mike Enzi told earlier about a school in Wyoming that has fences around it to protect against grizzly bears.
"I will refer back to Sen. Enzi and the school he is talking about in Wyoming. I think probably there, I would imagine there is probably a gun in a school to protect from potential grizzlies," she said.

I think this woman is an imbecile, but a bear did get into Bozeman middle school hallways last year during school hours, so I can't totally fault her on this point.
