Plain-English Summary

The bill would prevent the federal government from moving certain offices and responsibilities of the Department of Education to other agencies, keeping education programs and functions where they currently are. This would affect students, teachers, and schools that rely on federal education support by ensuring their programs remain under the Education Department's management rather than being transferred elsewhere in the government.
