LANSING – State Superintendent Dr. Michael F. Rice is issuing the following statement on today’s announcement by the Trump Administration that the size of the U.S. Department of Education workforce is being cut nearly in half:
“Today’s action is an outrage, a likely prelude to programs, protections, and funding—and by extension children in Michigan and around the country—being adversely affected. Funding and support from the U.S. Department of Education primarily benefit children who have greater needs and thus require more funding to educate. These staffing cuts will ultimately harm those vulnerable children, including students with disabilities, poor children, children experiencing homelessness, and English learners, among others. The federal government already underfunds education, particularly for our students with disabilities.”
