A Bill to Kill the Education Department Is Already Filed. Here’s What It Says (excerpts)

By Brooke Schultz — November 25, 2024 from Ed weekly

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mike Rounds, a Republican from South Dakota, represents another stab at dissolving the department, which experts have said would be a challenging undertaking.

It would send the functions of the Education Department’s Office of Indian Education to the Department of Interior, which conserves and manages natural resources and relationships with the country’s tribal nations. It also oversees the Bureau of Indian Education, which runs and funds tribal schools.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and other federal programs that assist students with special education needs, would move to the Department of Health and Human Services. Meanwhile, the Department of Labor would oversee career, technical, and adult education programs and employment programs for those who are deaf or blind.

A press release about the bill said the State Department would take the Fulbright-Hays Program, an initiative that awards grants to educators studying non-Western foreign languages and area studies.

And instead of the Education Department’s office for civil rights, the Justice Department’s civil rights division would take and investigate complaints alleging violations of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which deals with accommodations for students with disabilities; Title IX, which protects students from s*x discrimination and harassment; and Title VI, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.
