WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s aim to shutter the Education Department faces steep hurdles in Congress, where Republicans’ legislative efforts to abolish the agency remain stalled and appropriators have rejected many of his proposed cuts to education spending. After campaigning last year on a pledge to shut down the department, Trump came into office promising to follow through, and made some preliminary moves. The House and Senate Appropriations committees share jurisdiction over the bill to fund the department for the coming fiscal year. The Senate committee advanced a bipartisan bill in July, which largely rejects Trump’s proposed cuts to education spending and his attempt to dismantle the department. The bill aligns much more with the administration’s spending cut priorities and education agenda, calling for $67 billion in discretionary funding at the department.
