With a new president bringing a different philosophy and agenda to Washington, what are the implications for the federal workforce? A hiring freeze and reducing the federal workforce through attrition is a focal point in the “Contract With America“.
One agency likely to receive attention in the Trump administration is the Department of Education. It has a small agency with about 4,500 employees but has an annual budget of approximately $68 billion. The average salary of Education Department employees is $108,137.32 according to data in FedsDataCenter.com.

I'm not sure how to feel about the Dept. of Education.
While I agree that the States should do more, there does need to be some type of standardization between the states systems. Otherwise, children transferring to different schools could be at a huge disadvantage if their previous school does not have the same curriculum as their new school. Could also pose a huge issue with children from certain states being able to succeed in college.
The standardize testing needs to go away though. All it does is limit a teachers ability to teach.

I believe that education is a function best left to local governments and the states. The Federal Government should never have gotten involved in Education. As I read the Constitution, there is no support for a Department of Education. Republicans and Democrats have stretched the "general welfare" and "commerce" clauses of the Constitution too far and given us bloated Federal spending, reduced state and local control, and more limited personal freedom.
