Education Dept. to leave headquarters, give building to Energy Department

"Trump Administration Takes Aim at Education Department: A New Low for Federal Oversight? In a shocking move that's left education experts reeling, the Trump administration has announced plans to abandon the Department of Education's headquarters in Washington D.C. This decision marks the latest step in a long-standing effort to dismantle the agency, which has been a cornerstone of federal education policy for decades. Critics warn that eliminating the Education Department would not only strip the nation's schools of vital resources and support, but also leave millions of students without a critical advocate in the halls of power. As the administration continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in its efforts to reshape the federal government, one question remains: what's next for the Education Department?"

Abandoning the D.C. headquarters is the Trump administration’s latest and most visible move toward eliminating the Education Department altogether.
