Concerns about the impact: In a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, the senators expressed "outrage" over the reported firings of nearly all staff dedicated to special education. They emphasized that such actions jeopardize the delivery of essential services and conveyed fears from families about losing access to necessary resources.
