U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona will launch the '2024 Back to School Bus Tour' from September 3 to 6, covering battleground states including Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The tour aims to showcase the Biden-Harris Administration's investments in public education and its commitment to improving student outcomes post-pandemic. Cardona emphasized that the tour is a reminder of the administration's efforts to support public education amidst contrasting views that threaten it. The tour will highlight successful educational initiatives and focus on promoting student attendance, debt relief, and mental health support in schools. The Department of Education has invested over $357 billion to strengthen education across the country. It will kick off at a Green Bay school, with further details on specific stops to be announced.
