"Trump’s education secretary could potentially be tasked with overseeing the [#DepartmentOfEducation]'s demise after the president-elect repeatedly called for abolishing the agency on the campaign trail.
"It would be difficult to get rid of the entire department, which delivers federal funding to nearly every public #K12 school in the country and manages the $1.6 trillion federal #StudentLoan portfolio. And shutting it down would require an act of Congress.
"It may be more likely that some programs are moved to other federal agencies. The overarching goal for many Republicans is to reduce the federal government’s role in local education, which could be achieved by retaining funding programs but delivering money to states and schools with fewer strings attached.
"Under the new education secretary, the department may use the formal regulatory process to undo changes the Biden administration made to #TitleIX that sought to expand protections for #LGBTQ+ students. A new rule could potentially say that Title IX prevents #trans students from playing on girls’ sports teams, something Trump campaigned on."
