ivanka trump. | ap photo/evan vucci by eliza shapiro 11/18/16 09:57 am est president-elect donald trump's daughter, ivanka trump, plans to tour a success academy charter school in harlem friday, several sources with knowledge of the visit told politico new york. the visit comes just one day after success ceo eva moskowitz said she would not serve as trump's education secretary, ending days of speculation over whether the longtime democrat and avowed hillary clinton supporter would join a trump administration. moskowitz met with trump at trump tower on wednesday. story continued below moskowitz did not say this week whether she was formally offered the position, just that she would not serve under trump. but, over the last 24 hours, she has praised trump and vowed to work with him. during thursday's press conference, she said "there are many positive signs that president trump will be different than candidate trump." she also criticized the new york times for what she called "pot-shots" against the president-elect and praised trump's apparent interest in education reform. in an appearance on ny1 on thursday evening, moskowitz <u+2014> a former democratic new york city councilwoman who frequently does combat with the bill de blasio administration and his allies in the teachers' unions <u+2014> declared that trump had not only won the election, but "won very big." sources said ivanka trump will tour success academy harlem 1, the first school in a network that has grown to 41 schools across four boroughs. harlem 1 is the school most frequently toured by celebrities and financiers interested in the success model. hedge fund manager dan loeb will also join the visit; loeb is the chair of success's board. moskowitz has at least indirect ties to the president-elect through the network of financiers that have supported both success and trump. hedge fund manager john paulson, for example, has given significant donations to both the success schools and trump's campaign. ivanka has played a key role in her father's campaign over the last year and a half. her husband, jared kushner, is also considered one of trump's closest advisers. trump has vowed to keep his children in charge of his real estate company through a blind trust. but it's unclear how he would avoid potential conflict of interest violations; ivanka was criticized for joining a meeting with japanese prime minister shinzo abe on thursday. spokespeople for success did not immediately respond to a request for comment about ivanka's visit. a free synopsis of our pro morning email about new york education policy and politics a free synopsis of our pro morning email about new york energy policy and politics a free synopsis of our pro morning email about new york health care policy and politics a free synopsis of our pro morning email about new york real estate policy and politics our morning email with must-read analysis and breaking news on state news and politics a morning email with must-read analysis and breaking news on city news and politics. a weekly round-up of legislation in city council for politics and policy professionals. a reported briefing on money in politics, executive moves, and trends in communications, lobbying and consulting. our twice-a-week digest of news on courts and the law in new york azi paybarah and jimmy vielkind's must-read briefing informing the daily conversation among knowledgeable new yorkers.
