India, July 15 -- Back in March, the Trump administration laid off 1,378 Education Department employees, following $1.5 billion in grant cuts, including $600 million for teacher training and $900 million for research. US District Judge Myong Joun blocked these layoffs in May, citing an illegal attempt to dismantle the department without congressional approval. However, the Supreme Court on Monday overturned the Boston court's injunction, enabling Education Secretary Linda McMahon to proceed with workforce reductions.

ABC News, in March, cited senior officials to report that the impacted staff will be placed on administrative leave starting March 21. They will receive full pay and benefits through June 9.
