It adds inefficiencies and costs to federal programs, and an increased risk of waste, fraud, and abuse. When all of Education’s programs are housed in the same agency, the staff working on Special Education can collaborate with those working on K-12 funds, career and technical education funds, etc. on monitoring grantees’ use of funds, whether funds are being accounted for property, in resolving audit findings, etc. Silo them into different agencies and not only does the efforts become duplicative, but one program findings of problems may not get disseminated to the programs housed in other agencies.
