Dismantling or reorganizing? The Department of Education "has signed interagency agreements to outsource six offices to other agencies, including those that administer $28 billion in grants to K-12 schools and $3.1 billion for programs that help students finish college," reports The Washington Post. It's a step toward dismantling the department, which was created in 1979, by combining offices from a few different federal agencies. (The dismantling is, in a sense, a callback to the creation.)
Right when he first took office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order calling for the department to be totally axed. Education Secretary Linda McMahon would need to work with Congress to get this through, but it seems unlikely to pass the Senate, so this appears to be the approach they're taking instead.
