A new package of House Republican bills would make several Trump-era shifts to U.S. Department of Education programs permanent by moving day-to-day management to other federal agencies. The measures were introduced by the House Education and the Workforce committee, chaired by Rep. Tim Walberg, with committee consideration expected as early as next week. The bills would codify parts of existing interagency agreements—so far, the administration has shifted at least 148 Education Department programs and functions to six other Cabinet agencies. Provisions include moving major K-12 formula grants, including Title I, and career and technical education programs to the Department of Labor, alongside other transfers tied to family engagement, social services, and student loans. While the package does not explicitly close the Education Department, critics note it would lock in administrative restructuring that affects grant administration, compliance requirements, and oversight of student services. The Senate’s procedural hurdles—requiring Democratic support—could slow enactment, but the bills signal a longer-term governance fight over federal education policy and accountability.
