President Donald Trump could decide this week to take the first steps to eliminate the Department of Education, people familiar with the matter said, as he looks to dramatically shrink the size of the federal government.White House officials have prepared an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of dismantling the department, the sources said. Trump could sign the document as early as Thursday, but plans had not yet been finalized.Trump has long signaled his intention to close the department, but fully eliminating it will require Congress to act, McMahon said during confirmation hearings earlier this year. She was confirmed Monday.CNN previously reported the administration was drafting an order to launch the process of closing the Department of Education. Trump also plans to push for Congress to pass legislation to end the department.The draft order directs McMahon to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department바카라 게임 웹사이트� while operating to the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars바카라 게임 웹사이트�and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support바카라 게임 웹사이트�has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the draft order reads.While calls to abolish the Education Department or merge it with another federal agency are not new, the move has historically failed to get support from Congress.On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly pointed to the department as a sign of federal overreach and tied it to culture war issues. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America바카라 게임 웹사이트�s youth with all sorts of things that you don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t want to have our youth hearing,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I told Linda (McMahon), 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Linda, I hope you do a great job in putting yourself out of a job.바카라 게임 웹사이트� I want her to put herself out of a job 바카라 게임 웹사이트� Education Department,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Trump said last month.Even if Trump succeeded in ending the department, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s possible some programs and funding could be retained and shifted to other agencies, which is where they were housed before the department was created in 1979.Federal funding programs for K-12 schools that help support the education of students from low-income families and children with disabilities, for example, predated the creation of the Department of Education.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Final mission바카라 게임 웹사이트�Hours after being confirmed, McMahon sent a message to her staff titled 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our Department바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Final Mission,바카라 게임 웹사이트� in which she invited employees to 바카라 게임 웹사이트�join us in this historic final mission on behalf of all students.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is our opportunity to perform one final, unforgettable public service to future generations of students,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I hope you will join me in ensuring that when our final mission is complete, we will all be able to say that we left American education freer, stronger, and with more hope for the future.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Calling a review of the department바카라 게임 웹사이트�s programs 바카라 게임 웹사이트�long overdue,바카라 게임 웹사이트� McMahon said she agrees with Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s vision to give states oversight of education and empower parents to make educational choices for their children.But she warned that these actions will 바카라 게임 웹사이트�profoundly impact staff, budgets, and agency operations here at the Department.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
