SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Department of Education Elimination
Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Principles of federalism embodied in the Constitution
of the United States entrust authority over issues of
educational policy to the States and the people and a Federal
Department of Education is inconsistent with such principles.
(2) Tradition and experience dictate that the governance
and management of schools in the United States are best
performed by parents, teachers, and communities.
(3) The education of the Nation's students is suffering
under a managerial government.
(4) The Department of Education has weakened the ability of
parents to make essential decisions about their children's
education and has undermined the capacity of communities to
govern their schools.
(5) In the 34 years of its existence, the Department of
Education has grown from a budget of $14 billion to almost
$65.7 billion in annual discretionary appropriations
administering around 100 programs. Meanwhile, education
performance for 17-year olds has stagnated since 1971.
(6) The Department of Education has fostered over-
regulation, standardization, bureaucratization, and litigation
in United States education.
(7) The Department of Education expends large amounts of
money on its own maintenance and overhead. While the average
salary for public school teachers is around $56,000, the
average salary for a Department of Education employee is
$108,571.
(8) Recent tests reflect poor results in mathematics,
science, and reading for American students compared with
students from other nations.
(9) Only through initiatives led by parents and local
communities with the power to act can the United States elevate
educational performance toward an acceptable level.
(10) The current system of top down education uniformity is
detrimental to local businesses and communities, the economic
needs of the states, and the Nation's ability to compete
globally for jobs.
(11) The Department of Education has been hostile to many
promising reform ideas or empowering parents, teachers, and
local communities. The United States, once a laboratory of
innovation through the experiments of the States, is moving
toward education standardization that does not consider the
individual educational needs of our diverse population of
students.

SEC. 3. ABOLITION OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

The Department of Education is abolished, and, with the exception
of the programs transferred under section 7, any program for which the
Secretary of Education or the Department of Education has
administrative responsibility as provided by law or by delegation of
authority pursuant to law is repealed, including each program under the
following:
(1) The Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C.
3401 et seq.).
(2) The General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1221 et
seq.).
