Special ed, civil rights to be shifted out of Trump’s shrinking Department of Education

The U.S. Department of Education is moving major special education programs and civil rights enforcement to the Department of Health and Human Services, part of President Trump's broader strategy to reduce the Education Department's role. This shift could have significant implications for how federal support is provided to schools and how civil rights issues are handled, potentially leading to less oversight and support for students with disabilities and marginalized groups. This move highlights ongoing efforts to reshape federal agencies, raising questions about accountability and the future of education policies.
