Abolishing Education Department: Shifting Responsibilities to States and Other Agencies.
This act aims to abolish the federal Department of Education, transferring its functions to other government agencies and states. This means that decisions regarding education, including school funding and programs, will be made closer to citizens, at the state level or by other federal departments. The management of education funds and oversight of civil rights in schools will change.
Key points
The Department of Education will be abolished one year after the act's enactment.
Most education programs and funds will be transferred to states as block grants, giving them more flexibility in their use.
Oversight of civil rights in education, including discrimination and disability rights, will shift to the Department of Justice.
Student financial aid programs will move to the Department of the Treasury, and special education programs to the Department of Health and Human Services.
States will still need to comply with federal civil rights laws and submit student data and financial audits.
