This proposed legislation aims to eliminate the federal Department of Education . The bill explicitly states that the Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2026 , marking a definitive end to its operations. Such an action would dismantle the primary federal agency responsible for overseeing national education policy, administering federal education programs, and distributing federal funds to educational institutions. The enactment of this bill would represent a significant shift in the federal government's involvement in education, potentially transferring responsibilities to state governments or other entities.
