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

The U.S. Department of Education is shifting control of special education programs and civil rights enforcement to the Department of Health and Human Services, marking another move by the Trump administration to reduce the Education Department's scope. This change could impact millions of students with disabilities and those advocating for civil rights in educational settings. The move reflects broader efforts to streamline federal agencies, raising concerns about the accessibility and quality of services provided to vulnerable populations.
