Summary
The Education Department is handing over special education and civil rights enforcement to the Justice and Health and Human Services departments in a sweeping reorganization aimed at streamlining bureaucracy and returning control to the states. While officials tout efficiency gains, families may face more complex, fragmented processes when seeking help for their children. Critics warn that shifting special education to HHS could medicalize student support, while unanswered questions linger about staff transitions, case backlogs, and whether these changes will truly improve access or outcomes for students with disabilities.
