Bill > S5384

This bill, titled the "Returning Education to Our States Act", proposes to abolish the Department of Education and transfer its programs and authorities to other federal agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of the Treasury. The bill also establishes new state block grant programs for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education, allowing states to use the funding for any purpose related to early childhood, elementary, or secondary education. Additionally, the bill specifies that the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice will be responsible for enforcing federal civil rights laws applicable to the grant programs and transferred education programs.
