Sorry, no word yet on Assistant Secretaries for OVAE or for the Office of Postsecondary Education, but the Department continues to round out its staff.
Joining the Department as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Legislative and Congressional Affairs is Lloyd Horwich. Mr. Horwich comes to the Department from the House Education and Labor Committee. He previously worked for the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. NASDCTEc has worked with Mr. Horwich during his tenure on Capitol Hill on a variety of issues related to CTE and we are pleased to have someone who understands CTE in this important position.
Also joining the Education Department is David Hoff. Mr. Hoff has worked as a reporter in the education field for nearly 20 years, most recently serving as associate editor at Education Week, writing on issues facing Kâ€12 education including school finance, assessment, and curriculum. We have also worked with Mr. Hoff in the past as he did have CTE as an issue in his portfolio.
