Less Bureaucracy, Better K–12 Education Act

This bill moves the responsibility for many K-12 education programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor. These programs include ones that help disadvantaged students, students learning English, migrant students, at-risk students, teachers, literacy efforts, and charter schools. The bill also moves the workers and funding tied to those programs over to the Department of Labor, but it requires that the total number of employees across both departments does not increase. Any ongoing legal cases or pending applications for benefits or assistance would not be affected by the transfer.
