I only looked into it briefly but it seems like Biden attempted to do this without passing any legislation. So it was of dubious legality and crumbled a few months later.
They also specifically chose to use the heroes act to do it instead of the department of education organization act. They have the legal authority to do it within the executive. They just spent months looking for a way to tie their own hands so that they could claim they tried.
It’s kind of amazing how no one seemed to be able to stop Trump and Republicans even when they lost both the House and Senate and how Biden and Democrats can’t (won’t) get anything done even with the full legislative branch at their disposal.
