With Betsy Devos as the new U.S. Education Secretary, Michigan Schools Superintendent Brian Whiston says while he has had his disagreements with the schools of choice advocate, he hopes they can work together.

“We have to be honest that we're not performing where we want to be, so let's be researched based in looking at solutions and not just throw ideas out there that maybe haven't worked. Let's work together and let's make Michigan a top ten performing state.”

Whiston says he believes Devos wants what's best for students.
