The bill, H. 5154, is a resolution from the South Carolina House of Representatives expressing support for the President of the United States in his initiative to eliminate the United States Department of Education and transfer educational authority back to the states. The resolution highlights concerns regarding federal overreach in education since the Department's establishment in 1980, citing burdensome regulations and a lack of improvement in student reading scores despite significant federal funding. It emphasizes that states and local communities are better equipped to address their students' educational needs and develop relevant curricula.

The resolution calls on Congress to support and cooperate with the President's efforts through necessary legislative actions. It underscores the belief that eliminating the Department of Education aligns with constitutional principles and could lead to more efficient use of taxpayer dollars and better educational outcomes. A copy of the resolution is to be presented to the President and each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.
