The Trump administration is reportedly developing an executive order designed to dismantle the Education Department. While the order may not abolish the agency altogether, it could curtail its non-statutory functions and direct the Secretary of Education to devise a plan for departmental break-up. This initiative aligns with Trump’s campaign promise to defund the agency. However, actual elimination of the Education Department can only be executed by Congress. The timeline of the executive order is also likely tied to the confirmation of Linda McMahon as Education Secretary.
The Trump administration is preparing an executive order aimed at dismantling the Education Department, potentially shutting down functions not explicitly stated in statute.
The order will fulfill Trump’s campaign pledge to defund the Education Department, with plans to diminish its operations pending confirmation of Linda McMahon.
Only Congress can abolish the Department of Education, but an executive order can still significantly reduce its functionality through staffing cuts and program discontinuation.
While the Education Department may not be directly abolished, the executive order will direct the agency to begin a self-diminishing process affecting its core functions.
