More than 1,300 Department of Education staffers were terminated by the Trump administration on Tuesday after all employees received an ominous notice instructing them to stay home from work.
“Today we are beginning the process to cut the total number of staff at the Department of Education roughly in half,” a senior Department of Education official said Tuesday.
As part of the “reduction in force” process, 1,315 DOE employees have been laid off.
