The White House’s broader plan to abolish the agency has been met with confusion and questions from state lawmakers and education officials from both parties who would be tasked with filling in the gaps most likely to arise.

In addition to managing the federal student loan portfolio, the Education Department distributes millions of dollars in funding for K-12 schools through programs that serve more than 50 million students in almost 100,000 public schools and 32,000 private schools.
“If it weren’t for federal action and federal money, [Title I students] wouldn’t be getting any education at all. If you take away the federal government’s ability to oversee states and schools in that regard,” a department employee says, “how do you think states are going to treat students?”
Not sure why anyone is confused. Just look at their agenda. You can also see that several of the parties involved in this document have developed their own curriculum to sell.
That’s what they want. I know it’s hard for those of us with empathy to fathom, but what they want is to erase/eliminate everyone who’s not a rich white male.
Thanks for being an educator! This appears to cut out the middle man and have access to federal funds right away. I would hope this would carry over with disability funding going to the state also.
Trump and our Supreme Court seem to be hiding after Zelensky stood up to Trump's attempted Mafia style shake down of the Ukraine on World Wide TV!
Where is the cowardly, corrupt, Satanist Supreme Court decision we r waiting on?!
Thy r Cowards! Couples on thr side rape children together! Out Them!
From the reports I have heard the poor red states depend on the funds from DoE more than other states. I hate to say it but has anyone seen the satirical movie “Idiocracy”. Why do I feel reality imitating art.
They have always wanted to de-fund public education and destroy teacher's unions. GOP wants to create all white wealthy private schools. They don't want "their" perfect little republican christian kids to be around "those" kids; or get a college education. The uneducated are easier to control.
Worth mentioning that the DoE administers the only common nationwide testing; the NAEP. Without this, it will become impossible to compare education performance across states, and red states will no longer rank at the bottom. Which is why Republicans want to do away with the DoE.
