Trump Administration Moves Special Education Programs Under Health Department

The Trump administration announced a restructuring of federal program oversight. Responsibility for selected special education initiatives will be transferred to the Health Department. The shift aims to align services with health‑related objectives. Officials said the change could improve coordination for children with medical needs. Critics argue the move may dilute educational expertise. The decision was reported by The New York Times. Implementation plans will be detailed in forthcoming agency guidance. Stakeholders are expected to adapt to the new administrative arrangement.
