In continued testimony about the FY27 budget, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the administration is still evaluating where special education programs should sit within federal agencies. She also left open decisions on whether Impact Aid would move from the Education Department, stating no final determination has been made. McMahon defended the broader effort to move more than 100 programs to other agencies, including proposals to shift many K–12-focused programs to the Department of Labor. Educators and advocates criticized the transfers as disruptive, particularly for disability-related services that depend on stable funding channels. The hearing also highlighted lawmakers’ focus on TRIO and Gear Up changes and the Office for Civil Rights portfolio. McMahon’s remarks included procedural questions about how interagency transfers would operate and whether operational capacity can absorb new responsibilities without service disruption.
