OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI – Today, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon visited Oxford, Mississippi on her Returning Education to the States Tour. Secretary McMahon read to students and participated in a literacy roundtable at Oxford Early Childhood Center alongside Mississippi Congressman Trent Kelly. She then toured the University of Mississippi, where she met with university leadership and toured the athletics facility.
"Mississippi has made remarkable strides in early literacy through focused state leadership and a return to the fundamentals. It was a joy to start my morning by reading to students in Oxford and witnessing the Mississippi Miracle firsthand,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “At Ole Miss, I had productive conversations about the federal-state partnership to save college sports and support student-athletes' success on and off the field. These experiences will help inform our ongoing efforts to encourage local involvement in education across the nation.”
