Testifying before the House Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee, Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Frank Brogan announced the creation of the Department’s Disaster Recovery Unit (DRU). The new team has a director and three staff devoted full-time to managing the agency’s disaster response efforts; an additional staff member will be added in the future. The DRU supports the development of in-house expertise to effectively and efficiently leverage other resources, both within the Department and in partnership with other federal agencies and technical assistance providers (written testimony and hearing video).
