OK, why do we need the DOE if the States can manage it? Find the areas the DOE offer value and where they produce student improvement, cut them if the are frivolous money drains. The results are embarrassing.

This is why modern conservatives are told to hate the federal doe, not because they know what it does or care to find out, but because rolling back civil rights protections is a major piece to dismantling the USA as we know it:
“The anti-poverty and civil rights laws of the 1960s and 1970s brought about a dramatic emergence of the Department's equal access mission. The passage of laws such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which prohibited discrimination based on race, sex, and disability, respectively made civil rights enforcement a fundamental and long-lasting focus of the Department of Education. In 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act launched a comprehensive set of programs, including the Title I program of Federal aid to disadvantaged children to address the problems of poor urban and rural areas. And in that same year, the Higher Education Act authorized assistance for postsecondary education, including financial aid programs for needy college students.”

My personal anecdote is you engage them when things in your district start to head in a direction that courts will be involved. They’re there to help all students, not just the ones who can afford it.
Whats embarrassing is your lack of basic knowledge about the department that you seem to hate because youre told to.
If you think the state of education is bad now, just wait until districts nationwide are forced to cut staff and services. Youll have a lot of students not making it to graduation, just like the good ole days. But this really seems to be the goal, cheap labor thats easy to exploit.
And since im sure your deeply concerned about checks and balances, where did congress provide approval to dismantling a government agency?
I cant tell if youre lazy or education wasnt part of your life.
What you asked for here in your reply is what they do already. You want to address results, you start at the state level. Americans have been groomed to believe their woes are due the fed, when it comes to education thats largely incorrect…until now.
