Today, Patricia Levesque, CEO of the Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd), released the following statement applauding Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s decision to appoint McKenzie Snow as Virginia’s new Deputy Secretary of Education:
“ExcelinEd applauds Gov. Glenn Youngkin for appointing McKenzie Snow as the state’s new Deputy Secretary of Education. Virginia families are lucky to have another principled education professional join Gov. Youngkin’s education team under the leadership of Secretary of Education Aimee Guidera.
“Across her work here at ExcelinEd, in the U.S. and New Hampshire Departments of Education and teaching at South Africa’s University of the Free State as a Fulbright scholar, McKenzie has demonstrated her commitment to learners, educators and championing commonsense policy. We applaud Gov. Youngkin for hiring such talented and dedicated professionals, and we applaud his leadership and dedication to enacting a student-centered education agenda.”
McKenzie Snow worked as a policy director at ExcelinEd, specializing in education choice. She left ExcelinEd to join the U.S. Department of Education and most recently served in the New Hampshire Department of Education as director of the Division of Learner Support.
