A federal court has blocked President Donald Trumpâs attempt to dismantle the Education Department, ruling that the administration cannot proceed with mass layoffs or agency closures. The decision, handed down by Judge Myong Joun, orders the reinstatement of over 1,300 employees who were terminated as part of Trumpâs plan to shrink the departmentâs workforce by half.
The ruling is a major setback for Trumpâs efforts to shift education policy entirely to states and local school boards. His executive order, signed in March, aimed to eliminate the department, transferring student loan management to the Small Business Administration and special education programs to the Department of Health and Human Services.
