The educational department concludes offices for a day for security reasons

Some employees feared that the closure could be associated with an impending reduction in the workforce, according to four employees who had refused for fear of retaliation. An agency that offers $ 25,000 on February 28 warned of “very important” cuts that come to the agency’s workforce.

President Donald Trump does not have the one -sided authority to reduce federal authorities. The approval of the congress would be necessary to close the educational department, the functions of which are protected by laws.

USA TODAY reported at the beginning of February that the White House was considering an executive measure in connection with the future of the educational department. A preliminary draft of the Executive Ordinance obtained from the USA Today, Linda McMahon, the newly installed education secretary, directed her agency to “the legally appropriate and legally permissible maximum”.

The agency, which has long been the goal of the conservative anger, is already from waves of employees, resignations and wider political changes that affect students and schools.
