HRES 237 United States House · 119th Congress

Of inquiry requesting the President and directing the Secretary of Education to transmit, respectively, certain documents to the House of Representatives relating to the reduction in force and other downsizing measures at the Department of Education.

This resolution (HRES 237) is a procedural request, not a policy bill. It directs the President and Secretary of Education to hand over unredacted documents within 14 days about Department of Education downsizing, including staff reductions, closures, and actions related to the Secretary’s March 3, 2025, memo. The documents must cover compliance with key education laws like Title IX, IDEA, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It does not change laws or affect the public but seeks transparency about executive branch decisions on the department’s structure.
