The U.S. Department of Education announced a package of interagency agreements that will move major K‑12 and postsecondary program management to other federal agencies. The department signed deals transferring most elementary and secondary program administration and a chunk of postsecondary grant management to the Department of Labor, and routing Native American, international education, and campus child‑care programs to Interior, State and HHS. Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Labor Secretary officials described the moves as efforts to align programs with agencies the administration says are better suited to run them. Advocates and agency staff raised legal and operational questions about transfers done without new congressional authorization and warned about potential disruption to civil‑rights enforcement, special education supports and state grant flows.
