The Department of Education on Tuesday announced six interagency agreements that would transfer some of its offices to other government agencies...

the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education’s programs as well as sections of the Office of Postsecondary Education, including higher education grant programs and institution-based grant programs, will be co-managed by the Department of Labor...

... foreign medical accreditation will go to the Health and Human Services, and international and foreign language services is moving to the State Department,...

the statutory offices that resolve civil rights complaints, serve students with disabilities, and handle the nation’s $1.6 trillio student loan portfolio were not included in Tuesday’s announcement...

"Interagency agreements are a frequently used tool and the Education Department has engaged with other partner agencies more than 200 times to procure various services of other partner agencies over the years..."

It’s. About. Time.

Seems like a shell game? Money shifts from one pocket to another, people get a different boss, but the game is the same?

[silverleaf]

Depends on the boss, doesn’t it?

[TheThirdRuffian]

Just shuffling the losers elsewhere.

They need to be fired.

[unixfox]

Spread the scum to infect other departments. Sounds like a great idea.

[Da Coyote]

“Department of Education” has to be the ultimate oxymoron.
It is the Yugo of gubmit clown shows.

[FLT-bird]

Offices and personnel should not be transferred to other agencies. Offices should be closed and the leeches previously employed there should be fired.

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s the optics. Once it’s gone there will not be a new one-good enough for me. Next start thinning out the other departments.

"Just shuffling the losers elsewhere. They need to be fired."

YEP! Perhaps some downsizing in the process, it's a start. If you back pushing two centuries you will find that some state had their own board, many do today. Time to put those scraps back to the states.

Are we sure the Party of Death’s judicial whores are going to allow Americans to do this. Those skanks are owned and weaponized by the DemonRAT Socialist Party.

Simply moving one’s pedophile uncle from one house to another doesn’t really solve the problem, now, does it?

Sleight of hand. Keep the garbage. Just put it into different cans.

[arthurus]

DOE needs to be expunged without leaking any of its programs or people to other agencies. Actually, all the agencies need to be deleted in toto. We might even then begin to seriously pay begin to pay down the Debt.

I think it is a pretty good move. When you decentralize a large department, you take away the centralized power and put them under scrutiny of someone else who askes a lot of questions.
