What questions do KS & MO residents have about the Department of Education? Tell The Star

President Donald Trump’s executive order last week seeking to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education raises questions about the future of K-12 and higher education in Missouri, Kansas and across the country.

Actually abolishing the department will require action from Congress, but the effort could have major implications for everything from universities’ federal funding to college students applying for loans to pay for their education.

That’s where we need your help. Hearing directly from the people whose educational journey could be impacted will help The Star better report on what this major shake-up could mean for students and parents across the Kansas City metro.
