flag U.S. Education Department cuts reduce staff below 2,000, threatening key programs and oversight.

flag The U.S. Department of Education is undergoing major staffing cuts, reducing its workforce to fewer than 2,000 employees, severely impacting offices overseeing special education, civil rights enforcement, and federal education grants. flag These reductions, part of broader government-wide layoffs, threaten programs including IDEA implementation, Title I funding, after-school initiatives, and support for historically Black colleges. flag While North Dakota’s Department of Public Instruction confirmed no immediate impact on students due to already-distributed federal funds, education advocates warn the cuts will disrupt services for vulnerable populations and weaken federal oversight, with no official details released by the department.
