US Education Department outsourcing unlawful, lawsuit claims, threatens K-12 and higher education funding and services nationwide

The US Department of Education’s plan to outsource key K-12 and higher education programmes to other federal agencies faces an amended lawsuit claiming the move is unlawful. Filed by a coalition of states, school districts, unions, and disability rights groups, the complaint argues that shifting management of $28 billion in K-12 funding and $3.1 billion in postsecondary grants could disrupt essential services. ED officials defend the move as efficiency-driven, while courts continue weighing the legal challenges.
