Department of Education Says Nomination Process for Penny Schwinn Remains Ongoing - Tennessee Star

The U.S. Department of Education on Tuesday told The Tennessee Star Penny Schwinn remains the White House nominee to serve as the Deputy Secretary of Education, stating that contrary information given to The Star is false. This suggests Schwinn, the former Tennessee Commissioner of Education, has been waiting more than four months for approval by the U.S. Senate. She was nominated to serve under Education Secretary Linda McMahon on January 18.
