Education Department staff cuts could limit options for families of kids with disabilities

  • The U.S. Department of Education announced workforce cuts, impacting services for children with disabilities, according to Alabama State Superintendent Eric Mackey who stated that special education federal funds are still flowing despite the cuts.
  • Mackey expressed that complaints regarding special education services often lead to complex legal disputes, incurring high costs for families, which could be exacerbated by staff reductions at the Education Department.
  • Legal aid and advocacy organizations report high demand for services, but many families cannot afford the legal assistance needed to challenge school district decisions, complicating their ability to seek help.
  • Experts warn that reductions at the Office for Civil Rights may embolden school districts to neglect complaints of discrimination, as investigations could become significantly delayed due to the staff cuts.
