Senate panel considers protecting special education from RFK Jr agency
A Senate committee is considering a vote to block the transfer of federal special education programs from the Department of Education to the Health and Human Services Department, a move supported by RFK Jr. that alarms disability rights groups. Critics oppose the shift due to concerns it could disrupt services for students with disabilities, while Kennedy claims the change will improve support and outcomes. Some Republican senators, including Bill Cassidy, oppose the move and support legislation to prevent HHS from overseeing these programs.
