EdSec: Four Days Of "Closed Press Meetings"

4283_1157872667549_1249737466_417751_6663569_nAfter a Monday afternoon meeting with the State Legislators Conference, the Education Secretary doesn't have much on his public media calendar until Friday. But -- in a new development -- his calendar lists four straight days of "closed press meetings." Not sure what that means -- the Department has for the last year or so declined to provide information about the Secretary's non-media calendar but perhaps this is a start. Maybe in another year or two we'll get some actual specifics.
