Summary
The Department of Education initiated a mass layoff of nearly 50% of its workforce, cutting 1,315 jobs and reducing staff to 2,183 employees. Affected workers will remain on payroll until June 9.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon framed the move as a streamlining effort, impacting internal roles and closing regional offices. Employees were ordered to vacate buildings.
The layoffs come as Trump considers an executive order to dismantle the agency.
The National Education Association condemned the cuts and called them an abandonment of students and educators.
