(North Dakota Monitor) – The U.S. Senate is poised to confirm North Dakota State Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler as the next assistant secretary of elementary and secondary education at the Department of Education.

“Like others affected by the shutdown, I’m in a holding pattern,” Baesler said.
