I'm super excited to share this short brief on who has power over the Department of Education, what the ED Sec can do, and what Executive Orders can do.
There's a lot of info (and links!) packed into one place. I hope it's helpful. Please share.

A lawsuit, Texas v. Becerra, seeks to eliminate Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. If successful, it would have a devastating impact on people with disabilities in all areas, including education.

WARNING! This past week, we saw that Frontiers in Education announced this call for proposals. The four editors (myself included) had NO knowledge of this. We were never asked to participate. We are currently trying to get this removed from Frontiers. Please do not submit to this.
