Dismantling the Department of Education
An executive order to dismantle the Department of Education has been signed by President Trump, raising concerns about the impact on rural, low-income, and special-needs students. Former Education Secretary Margaret Spellings emphasizes that local school districts and states already have control over many educational decisions, like curriculum and funding distribution. She questions how taxpayers will assess the effectiveness of their investment in education without federal oversight and mandates. The dissolution could hinder data collection and accountability, both crucial for improving educational outcomes.
