A new piece of legislation aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education has been introduced in the House of Representatives. Known as H.R. 899, the bill proposes the termination of the department by December 31, 2026. The effort, led by Representative Thomas Massie, signals a significant push to decentralize federal oversight of education policy.

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.
