House Resolution No. [insert number] proposes to support the transfer of educational authority from the United States Department of Education to individual states, emphasizing the Tenth Amendment, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government for the states. The resolution argues that the establishment of the Department of Education has led to excessive federal control and ineffective regulations, contributing to declining student performance, particularly in reading. It highlights that a significant percentage of students are not meeting basic reading standards, indicating a failure to address educational needs despite substantial federal funding.

The resolution calls for Congress to cooperate in this devolution of power, asserting that states and local communities are better equipped to understand and meet their students' educational requirements. It also references former President Trump's advocacy for the elimination of the Department of Education, suggesting that such a move would align with constitutional principles and potentially lead to more efficient use of taxpayer funds and improved student outcomes. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key federal education officials and Michigan's congressional delegation.
