Per the horse’s mouth...
ED’s 4,400 employees and $68 billion budget...
And keep in mind that every state has a Dept of Ed.
NYS’s DofE LinkedIn pages admits to 1,768 employees.
No wonder the Lefties scream about Project 2025!
The Department of Education is one of their most Sacred of Cows, wholly controlled by them, and dedicated to indoctrinating K-12 students in DIE (Marxism).
“ED’s 4,400 employees and $68 billion budget...”
That is $68 billion the locals do not see anymore.
And every state has district BOEs...another crap load of money. Why? There are only 245,000 students in our state, yet there are 55 school boards answering the state BOE. It’s a waste of money based on the current outcomes.
