President Trump is considering executive action that would dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, ending some programs and shifting some to other parts of government, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans. The sources said such a move was not imminent.
Slashing the department is in line with Mr. Trump and DOGE chief Elon Musk's goal of shrinking the federal bureaucracy and workforce.
The Wall Street Journal was first to report the news.
The Education Department is responsible for distributing federal financial aid for education, and for collecting and disseminating data and research related to schools. The department is also tasked with enforcing non-discrimination policies in schools. Its funds account for less than 10% of the nation's public school funding, which is primarily driven by state and local taxes.
