SUMMARY: President Trump plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, believing this will benefit students by returning education control to the states. However, in West Virginia, concerns arise over the loss of federally-funded programs, such as special education aid and reading interventionists. Civics teacher Colin Henki fears this could destabilize local education and drive teachers away due to uncertainty. While Trump promises to preserve essential programs like Pell grants and funding for special needs, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morsy supports the plan, arguing that state control could improve educational outcomes. West Virginia ranked 48th in education in 2024’s Kids Count Data Book.
