Bill overview
This bill proposes to eliminate the entire Department of Education. It sets a specific date, December 31, 2020, for the department’s termination. Supporters of the bill argue that the Department of Education is unnecessary and its functions should be transferred to other agencies. This would significantly alter the federal government’s role in overseeing education.
