Penn Hill Group Senior Advisor Tom Corwin was interviewed for a January 25 Education Week article, “What Does Trump’s Hiring Freeze Mean for the Education Department?” Corwin commented on how the hiring freeze may impact staff and the review of State’s accountability plans at the Department of Education:

“Tom Corwin, who spent decades as a top career employee on K-12 budget issues and is now a senior advisor at Penn Hill Group, a government relations firm, said that the hiring freeze might mean that staff will be shifted around to help review State’s accountability plans for the Every Student Succeeds Act, which are due into the department beginning on April 3. But Corwin said that additional manpower might have been needed anyway.”
