June 29 (UPI) -- A flurry of interagency agreements are moving parts of the Department of Education to other federal agencies, reshaping the landscape for students, states and institutions of learning.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon emailed department employees in March 2025, telling them that she would lead the agency as it embarked on its "Final Mission."
That mission, as McMahon described it: "an overhaul-a last chance to restore the culture of liberty and excellence that made American education great."
To date, the department is carrying out this overhaul by moving its functions and programs to multiple federal agencies.
