Trump Administration Plans Executive Order to Dissolve Education Department

News summary

The Trump administration is reportedly drafting an executive order to initiate the dissolution of the Department of Education, aligning with Trump's campaign promises to reduce federal oversight in education. This executive order would task Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon with creating a plan to scale down the department, while Trump also seeks congressional support to formally abolish it. Education experts have warned that disbanding the department could lead to chaos and disruptions in key educational programs such as Title 1 funding and Pell Grants. The administration has faced challenges in previous attempts to merge or eliminate the department, suggesting that congressional resistance could arise again. Trump has consistently criticized the department as an example of federal overreach, advocating for state control over education. As the confirmation process for McMahon remains stalled, her ability to implement such changes is uncertain.
