What it would look like if the Department of Education was eliminated?

Some of the first questions that were brought up after President-Elect Donald Trump made his desires clear - to get Washington’s influence out of schools and hand control over to the states - included: What happens to special education funding? Or Title I funding for low-income families? What about enforcing civil rights in schools? Those are all things the Department of Education oversees right now, a department the president-elect wants to eliminate. The decision isn't only up to Trump. Congress would have to repeal the law that created the department back in 1979.
