A federal judge has intervened to prevent the Trump Administration's attempts to dissolve the U.S. Department of Education and its vital research arm, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Legal disputes are ongoing over budgeting, staffing cuts, and the cancellation of numerous education-related grants. Recently, President Trump dismissed 13 appointees of the National Board for Education Sciences (NBES) appointed by President Biden, raising concerns over the lack of recognized expertise in educational research amid these significant changes in leadership and strategy.
Our commitment to the National Board for Education Sciences stemmed from a shared belief in the necessity of research to improve educational opportunities for all Americans.
The abrupt termination of all 13 bipartisan appointees not only disrupts ongoing educational research projects but raises serious questions about the value placed on experienced voices in educational policy.
