Senate panel weighs blocking RFK Jr.-led shift of special ed to HHS
A Senate education committee is moving toward a July vote to block moving core federal special education programs from the Education Department to HHS, which RFK Jr. oversees; Cassidy opposes the shift and would prefer it stay with Education or go to Labor, while Kaine claims bipartisan support could pass the measure. Disability groups warn of potential service disruptions despite officials’ assurances that student rights would be protected.
