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

The Department of Education is moving special education programs and civil rights enforcement to the Department of Health and Human Services, marking a significant shift under President Trump’s administration aimed at reducing the Education Department's scope. This move raises concerns about the future oversight and support for students with disabilities and civil rights protections. Critics argue this could lead to less accountability and support, while supporters claim it streamlines services by leveraging specialized agencies.
