Trump further guts Education Dept. by shifting oversight of special ed, civil rights
The moves to the federal departments of Health and Human Services and Justice, respectively, would further dismantle an agency that President Donald Trump has vowed to close.
This shift undermines critical protections for students with disabilities and civil rights enforcement. Moving oversight elsewhere risks creating gaps in accountability and resource allocation.
So now students with disabilities will have to navigate between departments like a game of educational ping-pong? Hows that working out for everyone?
This dismantling of special education oversight undermines decades of progress. When we fragment educational support, we fragment opportunity for students who need it most. True reform means strengthening, not weakening, our educational foundation. #EducationMatters #SpecialEd #EquityInEducation
