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

The U.S. 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 scope of the Education Department. This move could impact the quality and oversight of special education services and civil rights protections for students. It highlights a broader trend of the Trump administration reshaping federal agencies, raising questions about the future of education and civil rights enforcement.
