US Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has called on educational technology executives, developers and investors to help the country's K-12 and higher education system "innovate and iterate" in a speech at the ASU/GSV Summit in Salt Lake City. As for rural schools, DeVos said “we’ve just scratched the surface” in the role technology can play in bringing education to far-flung populations of students. The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is investigating allegations that Utah schools violated Title IX by discriminating against transgender students. DeVos later told Jeanne Allen, CEO of the Center for Education Reform, "we haven’t realised the full range of technology’s ability to help students learn".
