According to OpenTheBooks, staff levels at the Department of Education have decreased since 2000, but the agency's spending grew by 749%. OpenTheBooks says the calculation is "even more galling" after recent statistics from the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed that student achievement has still not recovered since it saw big drops during the COVID-19 pandemic.
