According to her press schedule (see below), EdSec Spellings is going to be on Sunday’s “Meet The Press” (NBC) to talk about school safety issues.I wonder if they’ll get in some questions about student lending, Reading First, or this whole NCLB thing. Do you think she’s worried about coming in 2nd, like she did (to Squiggy Lenny) on “Jeopardy” last summer?
