On Wednesday, April 9, the House Education and Workforce Committee voted along party lines to adversely report H. Res. 237, a resolution to require the Administration to provide documentation of their plans to reorganize the U.S. Department of Education (ED). The resolution instructs ED and the White House to provide all documents regarding closures, staffing reductions, and activities tied to downsizing. It also seeks ED’s plans to fulfill its obligations under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESSA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other relevant statutes if ED were to close.
