An overhaul of federal education policy is set to advance in the Senate after the latest bout of gridlock ended Tuesday. With passage of a human trafficking bill expected soon, the Senate will vote on Loretta Lynch’s nomination for attorney general. When those two major issues are cleared, the Senate should have time before Memorial Day to debate, amend and vote on the first federal education overhaul since No Child Left Behind was signed in 2002.

Incredibly, the new reform bill passed with unanimous support from the 22-member Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Committee members hold a wide range of ideologies, from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
