Department of Education Dissolved — Education Funding Block-Granted to States (2025-04-15)

Project 2025 April 15, 2025

Trump signs legislation dissolving the Department of Education and converting federal education funding into block grants to states with no federal strings attached. Title I funding for low-income schools, IDEA funding for special education, and Pell Grants for low-income college students are all block-granted. Project 2025's education chapter, which called for 'eliminating the Department of Education's role in K-12 education,' is largely implemented. Civil rights enforcement in education effectively ends.
