New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday she is worried about the impact of President Donald Trump’s executive order calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Department of Education.

The governor was at Eagle Point Elementary School in Albany, a place she said relies heavily on the federal government for subsidizing school lunches. According to Hochul, Albany County gets $6 million from the federal government for student school breakfasts and lunches and elimination of the Education Department could jeopardize that.

“That’s a $2 billion hit for New York state if they eliminate this program. We’re very concerned about it,” Hochul told reporters.

She said half a million kids with disabilities receive federal funding and 400,000 students in the state have access to federal Pell grants for higher education.

The White House has not specifically listed which Education Department functions would be handed off to other departments or eliminated altogether. At her confirmation hearing, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said she would preserve core initiatives, including Title I money for low-income schools and Pell grants for low-income college students. The goal of the administration, she said, would be "a better functioning Department of Education."

“I’m very concerned that the Department of Education head, a pro-wrestling mogul, is now acting like a schoolyard's bully and picking on the most vulnerable,” Hochul said.

Asked if the department’s dismantling would affect ongoing state budget talks with the Legislature, Hochul said “no state in this country can make up for this loss if this is, this $2 billion alone for school lunches, there’s no financial way we can make up for this.”

It would also complicate one of Hochul’s biggest executive budget proposals this year — funding universal school meals — which her office estimates would feed more than 2.7 million students and save families an estimated $165 on groceries per child each month.

“This is why we’re sounding the alarm and calling on our Republican members of Congress to step up and protect your constituents,” Hochul said.

Finalizing the Education Department’s dismantling is likely legally fraught without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979.
