Trump's Layoffs Impact Disabled Children
The recent layoffs in the Department of Education have raised concerns, with nearly all senior staff members in the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) receiving reduction-in-force notices.
"This is absolutely a violation of federal law."
The layoffs affected 460 people across the Department of Education, approximately one in five workers. OSEP's responsibilities include distributing funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which supports roughly 7.5 million disabled students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).
- The federal government is supposed to cover up to 40% of IEP costs.
- The actual funding provided is around 13%.
