(The Center Square) – The Trump administration announced Tuesday it is moving civil rights and special education programs to other federal agencies in efforts to continue the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education. 

In partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Department of Education will shift oversight of special education and rehabilitative services to HHS. The DOJ will assume responsibility for civil rights enforcement, student privacy protection, and related training and advisory services.
