After months of pushback from parents and community members, the Fulton County Board of Education has voted to close Parklane and Spalding Drive elementary schools.
A former Fox News host and military veteran, Hegseth secured support from all but three Republicans to win confirmation with a 51-50 vote, with Vice President JD Vance breaking the tie.
Democrats were joined by 12 Republicans to vote against the bill, which opponents said could dilute funding for public schools.
