The U.S. Department of Education announces it is transferring responsibility for special education oversight and civil-rights functions to other parts of the federal government. Multiple outlets report that, as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to dismantle or significantly wind down the department, the Education Department shifts its civil rights office and the administration of special education to other agencies within the government. According to senior officials cited by Bloomberg, the moves include relocating the office for civil rights and responsibility for special education functions. The Washington Times similarly reports that the department shuffles oversight of special education services and civil-rights work out of the Education Department to other federal entities. Breitbart describes the change as an adjustment of oversight responsibilities, including civil rights and special education, to agencies outside the department. The articles describe the action as a restructuring step tied to the broader policy goal of reducing the department’s role, but they do not detail the specific receiving agencies or the timeline in the provided excerpts.
