And so that's why I'm working very closely with Congress, because I know that I have to prove to them that our students will be better served by returning education fully to the states. Now, that doesn't mean that congressional funding, like the Title 1 funding, the IDEA funding, which is for our students with special needs, that'll continue to flow. That's been set up since, I think, 1965. That was in place before there was a Department of education in 1980. (1:03:35–1:03:44)
