But the Trump administration has already taken steps to narrow the agency\u2019s authority and significantly cut its work force while telegraphing plans to try to shutter it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The White House officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the plans, said the order instructed Ms. McMahon to return authority over education to the states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">USA Today was first to report Mr. Trump\u2019s intent to sign the order on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Republican attempts to shutter the agency date back to the 1980s. But the push gained steam in recent years after a parents\u2019 rights movement grew out of a backlash to school policies and shutdowns during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That movement, which includes key pro-Trump, grass-roots activists, expanded around opposition to progressive agendas that promoted mandating certain education standards and inclusive policies for L.G.B.T.Q. students. Activists contended that these policies undermined parental rights and values.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But the hyper-partisanship around education issues has been present for decades, from progressive-leaning teachers\u2019 unions who organized against President George W. Bush\u2019s \u201cNo Child Left Behind\u201d policies to conservative Republican presidential candidates in 2016 who ran against the Common Core standards elevated by President Barack Obama\u2019s \u201cRace to the Top\u201d program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Caught in the middle are the nation\u2019s <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/programs\/coe\/indicator\/cga\/public-school-enrollment#:~:text=During%20the%20coronavirus%20pandemic%2C%20public,49.6%20million%20students%20in%202022.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">50 million<\/a> public school pupils, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/programs\/coe\/indicator\/cgg\/students-with-disabilities#:~:text=In%202022%E2%80%9323%2C%20the%20number,of%20all%20public%20school%20students.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">15 percent<\/a> of whom have disabilities. Also watching the debate are undergraduate students who receive Pell Grants because they qualify as low-income (nearly <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/ipeds\/TrendGenerator\/app\/answer\/8\/35\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">one-third<\/a> of all college students) and those who receive federal student loans (about <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/ipeds\/trendgenerator\/app\/answer\/8\/37\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">28 percent<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Public schools are mostly funded by taxes collected by states and municipalities that, by definition, already have control over that money. The federal government accounts for about 10 percent of total school funding, but that is distributed by the Education Department largely according to federal law \u2014 not the discretion of the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That balance of power in Washington explains, at least in part, why no modern president has ever tried to unilaterally shut down a federal department. The Education Department was created by an act of Congress in 1979, and federal lawmakers would <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/13\/us\/trump-close-department-of-education.html\" title=\"\">have to approve of eliminating it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shuttering the Education Department is broadly unpopular, public opinion surveys show. Multiple polls in the past month have shown that roughly two-thirds of Americans oppose the idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s order is expected to spark another legal fight for the administration, which is already embroiled in <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/us\/trump-administration-lawsuits.html\" title=\"\">multiple lawsuits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No modern president has ever tried to unilaterally shut down a federal department. Other agencies, such as the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Civil Aeronautics Board, were phased out under Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan, but with the support of Congress through legislation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Additionally, no cabinet-level department <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2016\/12\/22\/us\/politics\/cabinet-removal.html\" title=\"\">has been abolished<\/a> outright since the U.S. Postal Service replaced the Post Office Department more than half a century ago, and many of the programs the Education Department administers provide a lifeline to schools and students that most lawmakers have been hesitant to jeopardize in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, Republican lawmakers have already shown unusual deference to Mr. Trump, even as he has taken steps to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/30\/us\/politics\/trump-congress-republicans.html\" title=\"\">challenge Congress\u2019s authority<\/a> in several areas while flexing his own. Notably, he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/28\/us\/politics\/trump-federal-grants-loans-power.html\" title=\"\">directed agencies not to spend funds<\/a> already authorized by Congress on programs he dislikes, a move that is banned under current law and may be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Closing the department would not by itself revoke the various laws that established federal funding for public schools and underserved school districts or for specific student populations, including those with disabilities. Furthermore, many education policies are controlled by other agencies, and the department does not oversee schools on military bases or in Native American territories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Education Department has already reoriented itself to pick up many of Mr. Trump\u2019s goals by winding down <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/24\/us\/politics\/education-dept-ends-book-ban-investigations.html\" title=\"\">investigations started under the previous administration<\/a>; <a
