This article examines the potential consequences for schools if President Trump follows through on his promise to eliminate the Department of Education. It covers immediate impacts on federal funding, educational standards, and civil rights enforcement, while also exploring long-term considerations including legal challenges from tribal nations and the varying capacity of states to assume federal responsibilities.

Reports indicate that the Trump administration is preparing plans to dismantle the Department of Education through executive order if returned to office. The sweeping proposal reportedly includes significant staff cuts and restructuring, causing anxiety among education stakeholders concerned about impacts on federal student aid and education policy.
