Senator Mike Rounds has proposed a bill to end the U.S. Department of Education and redistribute its functions to other federal agencies and states. The bill aims to dissolve the department and reallocate $200 billion in funding.
Senator Mike Rounds introduced a bill to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and redistribute its responsibilities to other federal agencies and states. The bill, named the Returning Education to Our States Act, proposes a $200 billion budget reallocation. Rounds argues that the department causes more harm than good and should be dissolved.
Key responsibilities would be transferred: federal student loans to the Treasury Department, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to Health and Human Services, and the Fulbright-Hays Program to the State Department. Rounds aims to pass the bill with 50 votes through reconciliation, but faces challenges with Democratic and independent opposition in the Senate and White House
