In light of proposals to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), school districts face serious questions about the future of federal oversight, funding, and compliance. On January 17, Bruce Thompson, Beth Morris, and MaryGrace Bell Kittrell of Parker Poe, along with Ken Preede of Parker Poe Federal Strategies, hosted a webinar that explored:

1. The legal process required to abolish the DOE and potential timelines.
2. The impact on critical funding programs such as Title I and IDEA.
3. How oversight of federal laws could shift to state or other federal agencies.
4. Strategies to ensure districts’ voices are heard in critical policy discussions.

Access the webinar replay and slides to understand the implications for K-12 education and how proactive advocacy can help protect districts’ interests in this uncertain environment.
