A group of House Democrats said they’ve established a cordial but cautious relationship with Education Secretary Linda McMahon to discuss the future of her ever-shrinking department and federal funding for K–12 and higher education.
During a news conference on April 2 following their meeting with McMahon in her Washington office, the Congress members said their main concerns include maintaining school-related civil rights investigations with the reduced staff and assuring their constituents that funding for special education programs and low-income districts won’t be cut or mismanaged.
