Linda McMahon told House lawmakers the Trump administration is moving to "sunset" what she called a 46-year-old, $3 trillion federal education bureaucracy.
At a House Education and Workforce Committee hearing, she said voters reelected Donald Trump with a mandate to shift authority from Washington back to parents, teachers and local leaders.
McMahon framed the effort as "education renewal," arguing the administration is now delivering a restructuring that others had promised for decades but did not carry out.
The remarks set the administration's education agenda around shrinking the federal role, with the department's policies and priorities now under congressional examination.
