Education Dept. hands off more programs

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Education Department is handing over more of its programs and grants to other federal agencies. It announced a pair of new agreements Monday that move the Trump administration closer to its goal of shutting down the department. Under one interagency agreement, the Health and Human Services Department will take over grant programs that send millions of dollars to schools for safety and community engagement efforts. Another calls for the State Department to take over a portal that tracks foreign gifts to universities. The union representing department workers said the latest agreements would shift work to agencies with no educational expertise.

Starting at $4.50/week.
