Federal Special Education Layoffs Worry Wisconsin Education Advocates
Special education advocates in Wisconsin are concerned about the potential impact of layoffs in the U.S. Department of Education offices that oversee special education programs.
The Trump administration made a reduction-in-force for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, resulting in limited staff for monitoring and oversight of special education, as part of 466 layoffs across the Education Department.
The White House has made a push to shrink the U.S. Department of Education to return more control to individual states.
Annette Fournier of Kenosha speaks at a press conference calling for the state to pick up 60 percent of special education costs.
The Trump administration also cut funds for a Wisconsin program that attracts and retains special ed teachers.
