## Resource

The Department of Education just struck four major new partnerships with Health and Human Services and the Justice Department to streamline special education and civil rights enforcement — all while promising no cuts to vital programs like IDEA. Secretary Linda McMahon insists these moves are about cutting red tape, not dismantling protections, and aims to return more control to states — though critics warn vulnerable students could be left exposed.
