Original: White House depletes education statistics agency amid a schooling crisis
The White House is accused of gutting the federal agency that collects education statistics at a time when US schools face serious challenges. Reports indicate staffing and resources at the agency have been depleted, raising concerns that policymakers and educators will lack reliable data on student achievement, enrollment and school conditions. Critics say weakening the agency comes at the worst possible moment, as the country struggles to measure and address a deepening schooling crisis.
Why now: Reports that the administration is hollowing out the main source of national education data have alarmed educators and policymakers amid ongoing school problems.
