Plain-English Summary

This bill would eliminate the federal Department of Education and instead send education funding directly to individual states, giving them more control over how the money is spent on schools. States would no longer have to follow federal education rules and standards, though they would receive less total funding since the costs of running the federal department would no longer be covered. The change would affect students, teachers, and school districts across the country, as well as families who rely on federal education programs.
