(Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump said he will name Penny Schwinn, former Tennessee education commissioner, to be his deputy secretary of the US Department of Education.
In addition to Tennessee, Schwinn works 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 last Saturday.
He is also Delaware’s assistant secretary of education.
Trump gave Schwinn’s first name as Peggy but Penny corrected it in a subsequent post.
