Labor Takes Over Education Responsibilities | Baton Rouge News
Description
Trump’s Labor nominee Keith Sonderling narrowly won Senate committee approval 12-11 along party lines, clearing the way for a full Senate vote. Already acting as Labor chief since April, Sonderling previously served as deputy secretary since March 2025. During his confirmation hearing, he defended the Labor Department’s expanding role — including taking over key education programs previously managed by the Department of Education — as part of a broader inter-agency realignment. This marks a major shift in federal education oversight, with Labor stepping into a much larger administrative footprint.
