AND ROBERT F KENNEDY JUNIOR – TRUMP’S PICK TO HEAD HHS – WILL TAKE OVER SPECIAL NEEDS AND NUTRITION IN SCHOOLS.  

“It’s going to be a great situation. I guarantee in a few years from now, i think we’re going to see a lot of it, i think you’re going to have tremendous results.”

THE MOVECOMES JUST A DAY AFTER TRUMP SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER INSTRUCTING EDUCATION SECRETARY LINDA MCMAHON TO DISMANTLE THE DEPARTMENT AS MUCH AS LEGALLY POSSIBLE. 

THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS IT WILL ELIMINATE NON-STATUTORY PROGRAMS AND REASSIGN ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS TO OTHER AGENCIES.

ALSO ANNOUNCED FRIDAY –

THE SBA PLANS TO CUT MORE THAN 40 PERCENT OF ITS STAFF –

SAYING THE CUTS WILL SAVE THE GOVERNMENT 435 MILLION DOLLARS BY NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

WITH SOME TEACHERS UNIONS ALREADY PROMISING TO SUE.
