By COLLIN BINKLEY<\/strong><\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Education Secretary\u00a0Linda McMahon\u00a0is expected to move quickly now that the\u00a0Supreme Court\u00a0has cleared the way for the Trump administration to continue unwinding her department.<\/p>\n The justices on Monday paused a lower court order that had halted nearly\u00a01,400 layoffs\u00a0and had called into question the legality of President\u00a0Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0plan to outsource the department\u2019s operations to other agencies.<\/p>\n Now, Trump and McMahon are free to execute the layoffs and break up the department\u2019s work among other federal agencies. Trump had campaigned on closing the department, and McMahon has said the department has one \u201cfinal mission\u201d to turn over its power to the states.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Federal Government has been running our Education System into the ground, but we are going to turn it all around by giving the Power back to the PEOPLE,\u201d Trump said late Monday in a post on Truth Social. \u201cThank you to the United States Supreme Court!\u201d<\/p>\n Department lawyers have already previewed McMahon\u2019s next steps in court filings.<\/p>\n Trump and McMahon have acknowledged only Congress has authority to close the Education Department fully, but both have suggested its core functions could be parceled out to different federal agencies.<\/p>\n Among the most important decisions is where to put management of federal student loans, a $1.6 trillion portfolio affecting nearly 43 million borrowers.<\/p>\n Trump in March suggested the Small Business Administration would\u00a0take on federal student loans, but a June court filing indicated the Treasury Department is expected to take over the work. The Education Department said it had been negotiating a contract with Treasury but paused discussions when the court intervened. That work is now expected to proceed in coming days.<\/p>\n Under a separate arrangement, nine Education Department workers already have been detailed to Treasury, according to a court filing.<\/p>\n The department had also recently struck a deal to outsource the management of several grant programs for workforce training and adult education to the Department of Labor. The Education Department agreed to send $2.6 billion to Labor to oversee grants, which are distributed to states to be passed down to schools and colleges.<\/p>\n Combining workforce training programs at Education and Labor would \u201cprovide a coordinated federal education and workforce system,\u201d according to the agreement.<\/p>\n Additional agreements are expected to follow with other agencies. At her\u00a0Senate confirmation hearing, McMahon suggested that enforcement of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act could be handled by the\u00a0Department of Health and Human Services. Civil rights work could be managed by the\u00a0Justice Department, she said.<\/p>\n Democracy Forward, which represents plaintiffs in the lawsuit, said it will pursue \u201cevery legal option\u201d to fight for children. The group\u2019s federal court case is proceeding, but the Supreme Court\u2019s emergency decision means the Education Department is allowed to downsize in the meantime.<\/p>\n \u201cNo court in the nation \u2014 not even the Supreme Court \u2014 has found that what the administration is doing is lawful,\u201d said Skye Perryman, president and CEO of the group, in a statement.<\/p>\n Trump campaigned on a promise to close the agency, and in March ordered it to be wound down \u201cto the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.\u201d McMahon had already started a dramatic downsizing, laying off about 1,400 workers.<\/p>\n Education Department employees targeted by the layoffs have been on paid leave since March, according to a union that represents some of the agency\u2019s staff. The lower court order had prevented the department from fully terminating them, though none had been allowed to return to work, according to the American Federation of Government Employees Local 252. Without the lower court order, the workers would have been terminated in early June.<\/p>\n The absence of those staffers already had caused problems in the office that handles\u00a0student loans, said Melanie Storey, president and CEO of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. College financial aid staffers reported delays and breakdowns in federal systems \u2014 such as an\u00a0hours-long outage\u00a0on StudentAid.gov the day after departmental layoffs. Communication with the Education Department eroded, Storey said.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is concerning that the Court is allowing the Trump administration to continue with its planned reduction in force, given what we know about the early impact of those cuts on delivering much-needed financial assistance to students seeking a postsecondary education,\u201d Storey said.<\/p>\n Gutting the Education Department will hinder the government\u2019s ability to\u00a0enforce civil rights laws, especially for girls, students with disabilities, LGBTQ+ students and students of color, said Gaylynn Burroughs, vice president at the National Women\u2019s Law Center. Laid-off staff in the Office of Civil Rights were handling\u00a0thousands of cases.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout enough staff and resources, students will face more barriers to educational opportunity and have fewer places to turn to when their rights are violated,\u201d Burroughs said in a statement. \u201cThis is part of a coordinated plan by the Trump administration to dismantle the federal government and roll back hard-won civil rights protections.\u201d<\/p>\n AP education writers Annie Ma and Cheyanne Mumphrey contributed reporting.<\/p>\n The Associated Press\u2019 education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
