The Trump administration is transferring key Education Department responsibilities, including special education programs and civil rights enforcement, to the departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Justice as part of its broader effort to dismantle the Education Department. The move follows similar transfers of education-related functions to the Labor and Treasury departments and is intended to demonstrate that the agency’s responsibilities can be distributed across the federal government without congressional approval to formally close the department. Under the plan, oversight of special education programs, including administration of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and roughly $15bn in federal funding for students with disabilities, will move to HHS. Meanwhile, the Office for Civil Rights will increasingly rely on the Justice Department to investigate and resolve discrimination complaints involving schools and colleges. Administration officials said students will retain all existing legal protections and argued the changes will improve coordination and enforcement. However, disability advocates, civil rights groups, and former Education Department officials warned that splitting responsibilities across agencies could weaken oversight, complicate complaint processes, and undermine protections for students.

Thousands of international teachers working in U.S. schools could be forced out of classrooms due to lengthy visa renewal delays and a proposed $100,000 H-1B visa fee, raising concerns about staffing shortages in districts that rely heavily on foreign-born educators. Teachers on H-1B visas are experiencing renewal processing delays of more than 10 months in some cases, forcing some educators onto unpaid leave or out of the country altogether. At the same time, the Trump administration’s proposed six-figure fee for new H-1B applications has created uncertainty for school districts, although a federal judge recently struck down the charge and the administration plans to appeal. Many districts depend on international teachers to fill hard-to-staff positions, particularly in subjects such as math, special education, foreign languages, and dual-language programs. Large districts including Dallas and Washington, D.C., employ hundreds of H-1B visa holders, while smaller districts have also reported disruptions as teachers await immigration decisions.
