House Moves to Break Up Education Department | Charleston News
Description
The House Education and Workforce Committee just approved a sweeping plan to dismantle the Department of Education—splitting its core functions across Treasury, Labor, HHS, State, and Interior. Framed as a corporate-style restructuring, the 10-bill package aims to make permanent existing inter-agency agreements, shifting student aid, career training, and tribal education programs. Critics, including top Democrat Bobby Scott, warn it’ll create “total gratuitous confusion” and sacrifice efficiency for political theater. Ironically, Education Department officials reportedly helped draft the bills, briefing GOP lawmakers on their feasibility. Now headed to the full House, passage would still require Senate Democratic backing—setting the stage for a major federal education overhaul.
