New York Attorney General Letitia James, leading a coalition of 20 AGs, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the drastic reduction of the Department of Education's workforce. The administration's decision to lay off about 50% of DOE employees is labeled by James as a 'targeted destruction' of federal education support vital for millions of students, particularly those with low income and disabilities. She warns that this will disrupt essential educational services and funding, with substantial financial implications for schools in New York, jeopardizing studentsâ access to necessary resources and protections.
This administration may claim to be stopping waste and fraud, but it is clear that their only mission is to take away the necessary services, resources, and funding that students and their families need.
The dismantling of the DOE will have devastating effects on states like New York, K-12 schools in New York received $6.17 billion in federal funding.
This outrageous effort to leave students behind and deprive them of a quality education is reckless and illegal. Today I am taking action to stop the madness.
