Special Ed Shift Sparks Senate Battle
Description
A major political showdown looms over whether federal special education programs should be moved from the Department of Education to Health and Human Services, with Senate Republicans split on the issue. HHS head Robert F. Kennedy Jr. touts the shift as a way to boost outcomes and protect rights, but Senator Bill Cassidy fiercely opposes it, favoring a move to the Labor Department instead. With a July vote looming and moderate Republicans potentially backing Cassidy’s effort, the Senate could soon decide the future of these vital programs — as Senator Tim Kaine warns the Department of Education is in dire straits.
