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.
