Ohio's HCR 34 is a symbolic resolution (not a law) urging Congress to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. It argues federal education control violates constitutional principles and harms student outcomes, citing stagnant academic performance and bureaucratic burdens. The resolution directs Ohio's state agencies to create a plan for Ohio to assume control of federal education programs (including Title I funding and special education) and collaborate with other states to seek federal waivers. It does not change existing law but outlines steps Ohio would take if federal authority were returned to states. The resolution was introduced in Ohio's legislature in February 2026.
