RALEIGH — A set of 10 bills was approved July 15 by the congressional Education and Workforce Committee aimed at completing President Donald Trump’s goal of returning education authority to the states by downsizing the U.S. Department of Education. “For too long, Washington has accepted outcomes that should be unacceptable,” Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) said in a press release. Key transfers covered under the bills include:Career, technical and adult education programs, along with certain higher education and K-12 initiatives, moving to the Department of Labor. Federal student aid functions, including loan servicing, collections, Pell Grants and related Higher Education Act authorities, shifting to the Treasury Department. A month later, the U.S. Department of the Treasury was tapped to manage the nation’s $1.7 trillion federal student aid portfolio.
