 Welcome to your weekly update on the U.S. Department of Education, where we cut through the noise to spotlight what's changing in education and why it matters to you.

This week's biggest headline: The Department of Education announced six new interagency agreements, shifting oversight of major K-12 and postsecondary programs to the Departments of Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State. This includes handing over the massive $18.4 billion Title I program—supporting low-income students in 95% of school districts—to the Labor Department, along with programs for homeless youth, migrant children, and teacher incentives. It's part of a bold push to dismantle federal bureaucracy and align education with workforce needs amid a 700,000 skilled job shortage.

Secretary Linda McMahon called it "bold action to break up the federal education bureaucracy and return education to the states," promising less red tape and better outcomes. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer added, "We're ensuring K-12 and postsecondary programs prepare students for tomorrow's workforce demands." Interior Secretary Doug Burgum highlighted gains for Native American education.

For American families, this means states now get Title I funds directly from Labor, potentially speeding up workforce-focused schooling but sparking pushback from 20 states worried about disruptions. Businesses gain from better-trained graduates filling job gaps, while state and local governments handle more admin—watch for FY26 funding decisions by January 30, as the current resolution expires then. No direct international ripple yet, but postsecondary world language programs moved to State.

The Department also prevented over $1 billion in student aid fraud this year, with more crackdowns coming, and launched a new foreign funding portal at ForeignFundingHigherEd.gov today.

Impacts hit home: Students could see hybrid, personalized learning tied to jobs, but equity hinges on smooth transitions.

Keep an eye on Congress's spending bill and the 50-state tour for best practices. Dive deeper at ed.gov press releases or nsta.org blogs. If you're a teacher or parent, share feedback via state education departments.
