DeVos is an known Advocate for Common Core. This is an issue that She and Trump Spar on. We will wait to see if Trump meets halfway with DeVos, or Trump Will change DeVos's view.

DeVos is a former chair of the Michigan Republican Party who has never worked in public education. Her children attended private Christian schools. As the chairwoman of American Federation of Children, she is a proponent of the school choice movement, which calls for vouchers that allow families to use federal funds to cover the cost of education at private schools. She is also in favor of charter schools, but not of state regulation of them. Michigan’s charter schools are among the least regulated in the country, thanks to the DeVos family influence
