Duncan: A(Nother) Light Media Week For The EdSec

The highlight of the week, such as it is, is probably the Center on American Progress event on Tuesday, which will feature Dunca, Miller, Weingarten, and Spellings.  Guess what the topic is going to be? More info about the event here.  Still, it's just a confab -- all fun and games until a bill lurches forward into markup or an amendment gets offered to a must-pass legislative vehicle. Click below for the rest of the EdSec's media schedule for the week. For day to day events and meetings, sign up for the FritzWire (still email-only, far as I know).
