The bill’s language is straightforward, explicitly calling for the Department of Education to cease operations within the next three years. If passed, the measure would mark a dramatic shift in the management of education, transferring responsibilities traditionally handled by the federal agency to state and local governments.

The bill has been introduced in previous sessions of Congress without success, but with the power shift in Congress as a result of the 2024 election, it may have an opportunity to succeed this time around.
