President Donald Trump has made it clear that the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will take over specific programs related to student loans, special needs and nutrition.
Trump's announcement He comes the day after he signs an executive order directing Linda McMahon, the Secretary of the Department of Education, “appropriate and permitted by law,” to “take all necessary steps to promote the closure of the department.”
“I decided to handle all of the student loan portfolios, led by Kelly Loeffler,” Trump said Friday. “We have a very big, lots of loans. We have tens of thousands of loans. It's a pretty complicated transaction, and it's coming out of the Department of Education soon and will be led by SBA Kelly Loeffler.”
“And also, Bobby Kennedy… I'm going to handle all my special needs and all my nutrition programs and everything else,” Trump added. “It's rather complicated, but it will be led and handled by health and human services. So I think it will work very well. Those two elements will be taken from the Ministry of Education.”
In response to Trump's executive order to begin demolition of the Department of Education, McMahon said statement Closing the Ministry of Education “doesn't mean cutting off funds from those who depend on them,” he made it clear, adding that kindergarten through 12th grade students, special needs students and “college student borrowing” are still supported.
“We will responsibly eliminate bureaucracy by following the law and working through Congress to ensure a legal and orderly transition,” McMahon said.
As reported previously by Breitbart News' Catherine Hamilton, interviewed Breitbart News Daily On Friday, McMahon revealed that Trump is not “trying to refund services to go to the state.”
In response to a question from host Mike Slater about “money to go to a program for students with disabilities and special needs,” McMahon explained that what was “already enforced” before the Ministry of Education was established was “already enforced.”
“It's under the idea, an individual disability education method,” McMahon said. “Before the establishment of the Ministry of Education in 1980, the idea was already in place. It was then HEW (Ministry of Health, Education, and Human Services), and Title I funding was already in place.
