A package of new House Republican bills would permanently shift the administration of many U.S. Department of Education programs to other federal agencies, lawmakers said. The measures, led by Rep. Tim Walberg, are expected to move through the House Education and the Workforce Committee as early as next week. The bills would codify parts of the Trump administration’s existing interagency agreements rather than formally end the Education Department, according to reporting summarized in the article. Those agreements already cover 148 Education Department programs and functions across six Cabinet agencies, based on Education Week tracking. The bills would also address major areas not yet fully settled, including where research functions under the Institute of Education Sciences would land. Among the proposed changes, two bills would move most major K–12 programs—including Title I formula grants and career and technical education programs—to the U.S. Department of Labor. Another bill would shift management of certain competitive school family engagement and social service grants to Health and Human Services, and a separate bill would direct the Treasury Department to take over the federal student loan program. The legislation faces long odds in the Senate and could encounter Republican resistance on parts of the administrative shuffle, particularly special education moving to HHS. The outcome would shape the federal compliance landscape for universities, K–12 partners, and schools that rely on federal grants and loan servicing infrastructure.
