- Report: Education Department Scaled Back Special Education Monitoring
The U.S. Department of Education has reduced federal monitoring of states' special education systems, with teams visiting fewer than half of scheduled states for 2025-2026 reviews. The Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) warns this could extend review intervals to once every 25 years, while the Trump administration plans to transfer oversight to the Department of Health and Human Services, facing congressional and advocacy group opposition.
