A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to fully cooperate with Federal efforts to eliminate the United States Department of Education, reaffirming Pennsylvania's sovereign authority over its educational system and recognizing the need for State-led education solutions to improve outcomes for Pennsylvania students.
This Pennsylvania House resolution (HR 146) urges Congress to cooperate with efforts to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. It argues that education policy should be managed by states like Pennsylvania, citing federal funding mandates and claims that the Department has not improved student outcomes (referencing NAEP data). The resolution does not change any laws or funding but formally requests federal action to transfer education authority to states. It reaffirms Pennsylvania's constitutional duty to manage its public education system for 1.7 million students across 500 school districts.
