That's not what Trump has been saying. End Common Core and shut down the Education department. Nothing about new mandates to restructure the states. All the states will need to do is figure out how to replace the funding that they used to get from the Department of Ed.
Is that not the definition of transition??? There don’t need to be federal mandates, but the states could use guidelines/suggestions. DOE won’t shut down one day and the next day states function independently. That transition would again be helped by Carson.
