The Department of Education formalized agreements to transfer several K‑12 safety, community‑schools and Ready‑to‑Learn grants to Health and Human Services and to hand Section 117 foreign‑gifts reporting support to the State Department. Secretary Linda McMahon framed the moves as steps to “break up the federal education bureaucracy.” HHS will assume administration of Project SERV, Full‑Service Community Schools, Promise Neighborhoods and related mental‑health funds; State will assist with the portal that inventories foreign gifts and contracts at colleges and universities. The Education Department has now forged multiple interagency pacts since last fall as part of a broader realignment. Universities should expect new review processes for foreign‑funding disclosures and closer State Department scrutiny of Section 117 filings. Campus compliance teams will need to fast‑track technical and legal coordination with State and HHS counterparts.
