Trump Administration's Special Education Outsourcing Blasted by Veteran Officials Amid Senate Scrutiny

Former U.S. Education Department officials, spanning both Republican and Democratic administrations, are sounding a loud alarm this week over the Trump administration's aggressive push to outsource federal special education and civil rights enforcement programs.

This comes after the Education Department announced these sweeping changes in June 2026, intensifying a long-standing effort to significantly reduce the department's federal footprint.
