Sweeping layoffs at the U.S. Department of Education have gutted key offices—including the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Programs (which includes special education and rehabilitation services), the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), and the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE)—threatening decades of progress in protecting students with disabilities. These wholesale terminations place fundamental education laws in peril and place millions of children with disabilities at risk. The Secretary’s actions are directly in conflict with the Department’s statutorily required duties, and such changes have not been approved by Congress. Given this and recent reports of the Department beginning efforts to shift responsibilities under IDEA to other agencies, immediate oversight by Congress is essential. Tell Congress to conduct oversight hearings. The public deserves to learn how the Secretary plans to fulfill the Department’s full obligations under IDEA and other authorized disability laws.
