H.R.899 – To terminate the Department of Education

This administration will likely render the federal Dept. of Ed useless anyway, even if it sticks around. Getting rid of it is a way to make the removal of its policies, and the increased state control that follows, more permanent.

I think the GP means 'controls by individual states'

That is correct - in the US, typically the term "state" is used to refer to the 50 states, rather than the abstract term which is meant to refer to any governing body.
