The Senate has set Dec. 5 as the hearing date on the nomination of Johnny Collett, a former special education director for Kentucky, who was selected by the Trump administration to lead the federal office of special education and rehabilitative services.
Collett’s nomination was released by the White House Nov. 15. But Congress would have to move quickly if it wants to get Collett installed before the end of this year. Including the day of his nomination hearing, there would be only nine working days left on the Senate calendar in 2017.
