Trump Administration's Special Education Outsourcing Blasted by Veteran Officials Amid Senate Scrutiny

Former U.S. Education Department officials, spanning both Republican and Democratic administrations, are sounding a loud alarm this week over the Trump administration's aggressive push to outsource federal special education and civil rights enforcement programs. The controversial plan involves shifting the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and transferring the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) to the Department of Justice (DOJ), moves critics argue will dismantle crucial protections for students with disabilities. This comes after the Education Department announced these sweeping changes in June 2026, intensifying a long-standing effort to significantly reduce the department's federal footprint.
