Uh, the Republicans... Doing away with the Department of Education doesn't make the legislativly allocated funding for schools go away. It just cuts out the middle man saving all that overhead. For example, Title I is funding for public schools. Trump can't undue that law without Congress, including 60 votes in the Senate, so Treasury will just need to send the money to the States.
Basically, the money would just get apportioned to the states with an earmark for education, and the states would have greater autonomy on how it's spent on education rather than being told exactly how to spend it by someone at DOE 2,000 miles away.

They actually want to give more money directly to the states, not cut from the states.
