President Trump's interim leadership at the Education Department features veteran Denise Carter as acting secretary until Linda McMahon is confirmed. Experts indicate little significant policy movement will occur in the early days of the administration. The 'landing team' comprising unconfirmed political appointees facilitates a seamless transition but typically addresses only routine operations. The Senate has yet to schedule McMahon's confirmation hearing, raising concerns over engagement in impactful policy until her official appointment.
So we're expecting just the basic operations to continue, as there's not really going to be a whole lot that this department can do from a firm policy stance.
Members of the landing team are often also selected to serve as acting officials and fill the role of a nominated senior official until they are confirmed.
