Drawing from his experience as a teacher, district leader, state commissioner, and federal official, he emphasizes that while only about 9% of education funding comes from the federal level, its main responsibility is to protect students' civil rights and ensure equitable access to education nationwide. Most decisions about curriculum and staffing are made at the state and local levels, but the federal government plays a vital role in upholding fairness, especially so that wealth or location does not determine a child’s access to quality education. \n
