The U.S. Department of Education announced new interagency agreements moving management of several school‑support and community programs to Health and Human Services and transferring oversight of the Section 117 foreign‑gifts portal to the State Department. Secretary Linda McMahon framed the moves as efficiency and coordination steps, while Congress appended warning language to the FY2026 appropriation, expressing concern about fragmenting core education responsibilities. The transfers affect grants for school safety, Full‑Service Community Schools, Ready to Learn programming and reporting on foreign gifts to higher education institutions — shifting compliance, monitoring and political oversight into new federal hands and raising implementation questions for colleges and K‑12 districts.
