The Trump administration is transferring two key Education Department functions—special education oversight and civil rights enforcement—to other federal agencies. - The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) will move to HHS.
- The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) will move to the Department of Justice. - Disability rights advocates criticize the move, saying HHS is not suited for the role.
- The changes are part of the administration's effort to dismantle the Education Department. The transfers leave the Education Department with fewer responsibilities and have sparked concern among advocates for students with disabilities.
