"Labor is not positioned to do this work," said Amy Loyd, the Education Department's former assistant secretary of career, technical, and adult education during the Biden administration. 

"This is not their core purpose and their core mission. And they may have a crush of smart ED people coming over, but I can't imagine that this is going to be something that is going to improve student outcomes by any stretch," added Loyd, who leads the All4Ed education policy advocacy organization. "This is going to do net harm to our states, to our locals, and to our kids."
