"Trump Administration Takes Aim at Education Department: Abandoning D.C. Headquarters a Step Towards Elimination. In a move that has left many in the education sector reeling, the Trump administration has announced plans to relocate the Department of Education's headquarters out of Washington D.C. The decision, seen as a significant step towards dismantling the department, has sparked concerns among educators and advocates who fear the impact this could have on students and schools nationwide. As the administration continues to push for a more limited federal role in education, critics are warning that eliminating the department altogether could have disastrous consequences for the country's education system."
