The Trump administration is accelerating its campaign to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, with plans to cut its workforce by 40% and transfer many of its responsibilities to other federal agencies. While Congress has fully funded the Education Department, it has given the green light for interagency agreements related to its reorganization. GOP lawmakers continue to advocate for the complete dissolution of the Department, leading to concerns about the local impacts of these federal education plans. Meanwhile, an agency led by RFK Jr. will assist in managing recovery efforts related to school shootings.
