The Trump administration says its plan to dismantle the Education Department offers a fix for the nation’s lagging academics — a solution that could free schools from the strictures of federal influence.
Yet to some school and state officials, the plan appears to add more bureaucracy, with no clear benefit for students who struggle with math or reading.
Instead of being housed in a single agency, much of the Education Department’s work now will be spread across four other federal departments. For Donald Trump, it’s a step toward fully closing the department and giving states more power over schooling. Yet many states say it will complicate their role as intermediaries between local schools and the federal government.



Their plans for education in project 2025 are terrible. They want to set up education saving funds instead of funding public ed. People will have to start shopping for an education. Imagine the bloat and costs of colleges but now for preschools.
Yep, this is what they want. All cost of college but for an extra 12 years.
