1:56Now PlayingDepartment of Education staff are slated to receive "reduction in force" notices Tuesday ahead of nearly half of its staff getting terminated, Fox News Digital learned.
Earlier in the day, a memo was sent to all Education Department employees informing them that DOE offices will be closed Tuesday evening through Wednesday due to "security reasons."
Personnel with the Education Department are set to receive "reduction in force" notices Tuesday evening, a source familiar told Fox News Digital Tuesday afternoon. The department will see nearly half of its staff eliminated.
President Donald Trump repeatedly has said he would like to see the states hold control over individual education systems, including campaigning on the issue ahead of the 2024 election.
"I want to close up Department of Education, move education back to the states. … Of the 50 (states), I would bet that 35 would do great. And 15 of them, or, you know, 20 of them, will be as good as Norway. You know, Norway is considered great," Trump said in August 2024, while noting left-wing states such as California could struggle if he does eliminate the Department of Education.
