"Don’t over or underreact—but we do have a job to do,” says our founding partner @RegLeichty on Trump’s plan to dismantle the Dept. of Ed and shift special ed oversight. Important piece from @EdSource on what’s at stake for students with disabilities: https://t.co/YkTKp0qXNL

[Foresight Law + Policy, PLLC @FLPadvisors]

Too often in government, critical functions go unnoticed—until they’re gone. One example: the Department can no longer provide the strongest federal privacy protections for student data under CIPSEA—all because key staff were eliminated without a clear plan.

[Reg Leichty @RegLeichty]

Some government roles may be invisible—but they’re far from expendable. In this LinkedIn article, I examine how recent staff cuts at USED are quietly weakening student privacy protections and undermining essential agency functions. https://t.co/YltuzN3eLq
