🏛 What Did the Department of Education (DOE) Do?
The DOE, created in 1979, was responsible for:
✔ Administering federal funding for K-12 schools and higher education
✔ Managing student loan programs like Pell Grants and loan forgiveness programs
✔ Supporting special education through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
✔ Distributing Title I funding to low-income schools
✔ Collecting national education data and conducting research
✔ Enforcing civil rights laws in schools

📜 What President Trump’s Executive Order Does
🔹 Dismantles the Department of Education and shifts responsibilities to other agencies or states
🔹 Transfers control of K-12 education policy to state governments
🔹 Reassigns federal education programs to other departments or state jurisdictions
🔹 Adjusts the way federal education funding is distributed
🔹 Changes how student loans and grants will be managed

💰 What Happens to Federal Education Funding?
🔹 The federal government currently provides 7-10% of public school funding, mostly through Title I and IDEA.
🔹 Under this change, funding may be converted into block grants for states to use as they see fit.
🔹 Some states could see funding reductions, while others may gain more autonomy over their education budgets.

⚖️ Potential Benefits of Closing the DOE:
✔ Gives states more control over education policy
✔ Reduces bureaucracy and federal oversight
✔ Allows for customized state education systems
✔ Could reduce costs by streamlining administrative functions
✔ Provides more flexibility in education funding allocation

❌ Potential Challenges of Closing the DOE:
🚨 Uncertainty over student loan management, including income-based repayment and loan forgiveness
🚨 Possible funding gaps for low-income and special education students
🚨 Risk of inconsistent education quality across states
🚨 Reduction in national education research and data collection
🚨 Changes in federal civil rights oversight for schools

❓ Unanswered Questions:
❓ Will Income-Based Repayment & Loan Forgiveness programs continue?
❓ How will special education funding (IDEA) be allocated to states?
❓ Will states have to replace lost federal funds, and how will they do it?
❓ What impact will this have on standardized testing and national education benchmarks?

Past Proposals to Eliminate the DOE
💡 Ronald Reagan attempted to close the DOE in the 1980s.
💡 Newt Gingrich included DOE elimination in his 1990s "Contract with America."
💡 Rick Perry & Ted Cruz supported shutting down the DOE in past campaigns.
💡 Donald Trump made DOE dismantling a key campaign promise and has now signed the executive order.

📢 What Do You Think?
