DEVELOPING: Trump Administration Launches Sweeping Education Department Overhaul

Breaking News: Trump Administration Launches Sweeping Education Department Overhaul The Trump administration has unveiled a plan to outsource large pieces of the US Department of Education to other federal agencies, bypassing Congress. According to sources, Education Secretary Linda McMahon wants to "peel back the layers of federal bureaucracy." The administration has forged six new agreements between the Education Department and other agencies, shifting work dedicated to elementary and secondary education, postsecondary education, and Indian education. These offices were originally placed at the department by Congress in 1979. This move is being made without Congress' consent, sparking concerns about the impact on education policy and the department's future. The administration has not provided a clear timeline for the transition. The Education Department's special education staff may see their jobs returned, but for how long remains uncertain. The Trump administration's plan is set to take effect immediately, with the first phase expected to be completed by the end of the year. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
