Bill would stop the Education Department from moving key programs to other agencies.

This bill would prevent the Department of Education from shifting important programs, like those for special education or college aid, to other federal agencies. It would also require the department to publicly share detailed cost reports for certain agreements with other agencies. This aims to keep specific education programs within the Department of Education.

What Would Change

Today, the Secretary of Education can transfer the work of various offices and enter into agreements with other federal agencies for those functions. After this bill, the Secretary of Education would be prohibited from transferring the work of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, the Office of Postsecondary Education, the Office of Indian Education, and the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education to other federal agencies. The Secretary would also be required to provide detailed quarterly cost reports for certain interagency agreements to Congress and the public, and travel funds for the Secretary would be conditionally restricted.

Key Provisions

The Secretary of Education would be prohibited from transferring the functions of four specific offices to other federal agencies.
The affected offices are the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, the Office of Postsecondary Education, the Office of Indian Education, and the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The bill would also prevent the Secretary from moving a program from one of these four offices to another internal office, then making an agreement with an outside federal agency about it.
This prohibition would not apply to agreements between the Department of Education and other federal agencies that were already in place on February 1, 2025, or to their renewals with similar terms.
The Secretary of Education would be required to provide Congress and the public with detailed quarterly cost reports for interagency agreements made since February 1, 2025.
