The US Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for President Donald Trump's administration to resume dismantling the Department of Education.
The move is part of President Trump's bid to shrink the federal government's role in education in favour of more control by the states.
In the latest High Court win for Trump, the justices lifted a federal judge's order that had reinstated nearly 1,400 workers affected by mass layoffs at the department and blocked the administration from transferring key functions to other federal agencies.
A legal challenge is continuing to play out in lower courts.
