Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Halt Ed Dept Outsourcing

A bipartisan House bill has been introduced to prevent the outsourcing of certain U.S. Department of Education offices, with a focus on special education functions. The legislation aims to keep these operations internal rather than contracted to external entities.
