US EditionSchools fear disruptions as the White House begins dismantling the Education Department
The Labor Department will manage an $18 billion Title I program serving 26 million low-income students amid concerns of increased bureaucracy and loss of expertise.
- On Tuesday, agreements were announced that transfer Education Department programs to other agencies, leaving the department with limited duties while President Donald Trump views this as a step to close it.
- Facing stagnant reading and declining math results, the administration frames the transfer as a remedy, with Linda McMahon, Labor Secretary, calling it a 'hard reset' at a White House briefing.
- Title I, an $18 billion program serving 26 million students, will move to the U.S. Labor Department as much of the Education Department's work spreads across HHS, U.S. State, and Interior Departments.
- State and local leaders warn the plan will add bureaucracy and cause confusion for educators and families, saying it complicates their intermediary role and risks losing federal expertise, officials said.
- With reactions split along party lines, Republicans praised the move while Democrats warned of harm to vulnerable students; Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., urged reconsideration, and critics questioned other federal departments' capacity amid uncertainty.
