Topics
John Dickerson: 特朗普政府正在削减教育部的人员，这将对教育系统产生深远影响。教育部的削减不仅影响了残疾学生的支持服务，还可能导致资金分配延迟和研究资金减少。 Nancy Cordes: 教育部的削减将导致资金分配延迟，研究资金也可能减少。教育部的主要功能是向州和学区提供资金，削减将影响这些资金的分配和使用。 Liz Zogby: 教育部的资金支持对残疾学生至关重要。我的女儿 Katz Zogby 通过学校的支持服务能够就读当地学校，这些服务依赖于教育部的资金。 Margaret Spellings: 教育部的主要功能是向州和学区提供资金，削减将影响这些资金的分配和使用。教育部并不直接设定地方学校的教育标准。 Linda McMahon: 教育部削减反映了对效率和问责的承诺。我们的目标是提高教育系统的效率，但家长们对教育部可能被取消感到恐惧。
