Episode 42: Who Should Run America’s Schools? The Federal-State Tug of War

In this episode of EdFix, education policy veterans Denise Forte and Andy Rotherham tackle one of the most pressing—and polarizing—questions in American education: should the U.S. Department of Education shrink or shift power to the states? With sharp insights and real-world experience, they unpack the motivations behind efforts to dismantle the department and what that could mean for equity, accountability, and student rights. From civil rights enforcement to federal funding, they explore what’s lost (and what might be gained) in a state-led system. It's a timely and clear-eyed conversation about equity, accountability, and the future of public education.

Denise Forte is President and CEO of EdTrust. Andy Rotherham is Co-Founder and Senior Partner at Bellwether.
