(Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump said he would name Penny Schwinn, former Tennessee education commissioner, to be his deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Education.
In addition to Tennessee, Schwinn has worked at the Texas Education Agency as deputy commissioner of standards and engagement, deputy commissioner of special populations and monitoring, and chief deputy commissioner of academics, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Saturday.
She was also the assistant secretary of education for Delaware.
Trump initially gave Schwinn’s first name as Peggy but corrected it to Penny in a subsequent post.
