Abstract: The article focuses on a package of ten bills introduced by House Republicans aiming to codify most of the U.S. Department of Education’s K-12 and higher education interagency agreements by transferring statutory responsibilities to other federal agencies. These bills support the Trump administration’s goal to downsize the Education Department but do not include recent agreements involving special education and civil rights functions transferred to the Departments of Health and Human Services and Justice. While proponents argue the legislation reduces bureaucracy and improves service delivery, critics, including union representatives and Democratic lawmakers, warn it could create inefficiencies, funding delays, and weaken oversight. The bills have no Senate counterpart and do not propose closing the Education Department outright. [Extracted from the article]
