President Donald Trump could soon sign an executive order directing Acting Secretary of Education Denise Carter to dismantle the Department of Education. Multiple reports have cited sources briefed on drafts circulating among top administration officials regarding the decision.
The proposed order would require Carter to submit a proposal to abolish the department and Congress to pass legislation to do so.
It’s unclear when the president will sign the order, but at least one White House official has said it could happen sometime this month.
