Trump ramps up Education Department dismantling with changes on special education and civil rights
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The Trump administration is accelerating the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education by transferring its responsibilities for special education and civil rights to other agencies. The Department of Justice will now enforce civil rights in education, while the Department of Health and Human Services will oversee special education. Critics express concern that this shift could lead to communication gaps for families and educators, particularly affecting underserved students, including those with disabilities. The changes have sparked opposition from advocates who argue that education oversight should remain within the Education Department to ensure effective support for vulnerable populations.
