WASHINGTON — Betsy DeVos, in her first extended policy address as education secretary, argued on Wednesday for an expansion of school choice programs, pointing to lagging test scores and a program championed by the Obama administration that funneled billions into low-performing schools but failed to produce better academic outcomes.
In a speech at the Brookings Institution, the education secretary rejected the notion that money was a panacea for the challenges facing public schools.
