LANSING, Mich. (March 12, 2025) \u2014 In response to yesterday\u2019s announcement by the U.S. Dept. of Education (DOE) outlining plans to lay off over 1,300 of its employees \u2014 nearly half of its staff \u2014 Sen. Rosemary Bayer<\/b> (D-West Bloomfield), Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for the Michigan Dept. of Education, issued the below statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students should not be condemned to fall through the cracks because of reckless actions taken by the Trump administration. It\u2019s absolutely imperative that the Department of Education is adequately staffed so that employees can administer necessary services and deliver programs that everyone in the state benefits from. Not only will cutting the department’s staff in half hurt Michigan today, but the negative consequences will inevitably be felt across the country for decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am especially worried that the DOE will not be able to deliver Title 1 programs, administer services or funding for our special needs students, or provide crucial student financial aid. Looking forward, I am also concerned about future cuts and additional loss of programs that DOE could suffer, ultimately harming students, teachers, and so many others around the country who rely on them.\u201d\u00a0<\/div>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
