<br>
The 2020 elections will likely have profound implications for federal education policy, including both the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the longer-term education agenda. Please join EducationCounsel and our partners as we discuss the
possible impact of the federal elections and what might happen next in early childhood, K-12, and higher education. Our panelists will share insights from their experiences in the White House, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, U.S. Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives, including work on prior federal transitions.<br>
