WASHINGTON, D.C.(Press Release) – U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) Thursday issued the follow, Ding statement following President Trump’s executive order on dismantling the Department of Education. Senator Rounds previouslyintroduced the “Returning Education to Our States Act” which would eliminate the U.S. Department of Education and redistribute all critical federal programs under other departments.
“The federal BUREAUCRACY of Education has never educated a single student. It’s time to shut it down. Today’s news is a step in the right direction. Congress should follow the executive branch’s lead and act accordingly. I am working on legislation that would return education decisions to states and local school districts while maintaining important programs like special education and Title I. We are discussing this legislation with Secretary McMahon and we believe there is a very good path forward.”
