The Trump Administration plans significant layoffs at the U.S. Department of Education, affecting over 1,300 employees and leading to the end of various office leases, including in San Francisco. This decision has raised concerns among educators who fear it will negatively affect vulnerable students. Union leader Becky Pringle criticized the cuts, emphasizing that firing such a large portion of the workforce will reduce vital services for students. Despite the layoffs, Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated that the agency will continue managing federal aid and student loans, following the president's agenda to transfer education control to states.
Firing half of your workforce without cause - we know necessarily will mean there will be cuts to services that our students and families need.
We want more money to be able to go to the states, that's what the president has said all along.
