The Trump administration has advanced its plan to move key U.S. Department of Education functions, including special education oversight and civil-rights enforcement, to other federal agencies. The Education Department’s civil rights office would shift to the Justice Department, while special education oversight would move to the Department of Health and Human Services. The administration says safeguards such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, individualized education programs, and the free appropriate public education right will remain intact. Plaintiffs and lawmakers, however, are challenging the interagency agreements as unlawful overreach and have raised questions about how the transitions will function in practice. Separately, a related report details how formula funds and grant portals for states may be rerouted through different systems, following prior delays in career-technical-education funding transfers. Taken together, the changes raise immediate compliance and accountability questions for colleges and K–12 partners that rely on Education Department processes, timelines, and complaint pathways.
