Trump moves closer to closing the Education Department

John B. King, former U.S. Secretary of Education and current Chancellor of the State University of New York, dives deep into the recent shift in federal education responsibilities. He argues that dismantling the Education Department distracts from essential recovery needs, like tutoring and teacher support. King raises alarms about the impact on vulnerable students, particularly regarding the management of Title I funds and potential funding cuts. He advocates for increased investments in teacher training and early childhood education to genuinely uplift public education.
