President Trump is reportedly considering signing an executive order to close the Department of Education, a move that could impact various programs in Utah and Utah County. The Department of Education provides funding for programs such as Title I, Part A, special needs programs, and school lunch assistance. However, some officials are not overly concerned about the potential closure, as they believe local funding sources can compensate for any loss of federal funding. Nebo School District, for example, receives minimal federal funding and is primarily supported by the state Legislature and local school board. Additionally, there is uncertainty about the actual impact of the closure, as Congress could overturn the decision or the courts could reject parts of the order. It remains to be seen how the potential closure of the Department of Education would affect education funding and programs in Utah.
