What's Most Likely to Happen with the DOE

Hey all-

My wife is a teacher at a Title 1 school and like many of you, I've been worried about the DOE under the upcoming administration. This article does a good job at explaining what is actually most likely to happen:

In short, Trump can't magically make the DOE dissappear. It would take the house majority plus 60 seats in the senate. Even if the DOE does dissappear, Title 1 funding and other funding administered by the DOE doesn't go away. While Republicans can certainly try (and I'm not saying they won't) to get away with a broader disassembling of public education, it wouldn't be as easy as Trump simply making a decision.

Hope this helps!
