Abstract: President Donald Trump has instructed U.S. Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon to "take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education" using her authority to "the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law." As Secretary McMahon considers such steps, she has already indicated that some department functions will be maintained and moved to other agencies. Some responsibilities will be transferred to other federal offices, such as adult education programs, which department officials moved to the U.S. Department of Labor under an inter-agency agreement. This Issue Brief provides policy guidance on the future of programs maintained by the Institute of Education Science (IES). The IES is the research arm of the Education Department. The office gathers data on students and schools, including data on K-12 schools and postsecondary institutions. IES officials also commission evaluations of education policies and practices from third parties and recommend best practices for educators and education policymakers.
