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 another effort by the Trump administration to downsize the department. This shift could impact the quality and oversight of special education services and civil rights protections for students. It's a significant move that could alter how educational and civil rights issues are managed and monitored across the federal government, raising concerns about accountability and the adequacy of services for vulnerable populations.
