(CNSNews.com) – School choice advocate Betsy DeVos, president-elect Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of education, faces her confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee later today following the release of a timely report detailing school choice's positive societal and economic benefits.
Democrats and teachers unions have harshly criticized DeVos, claiming that expanding school choice would result in the destruction of the public school system.
Last week Boston Ballet announced two well-deserved mid-season promotions: Lauren Herfindahl and Addie Tapp have been promoted to second soloists with the company.
In the official press release announcing the promotions, Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen said, "One of the best parts of being an artistic director is to reward talent. I am very proud of Lauren and Addie's progress."
