Which of these responsibilities is performed by the US Department of Education?

The U.S. Department of Education supports education nationally, including providing federal funding to states and administering education programs. States and local school districts generally operate schools and decide curriculum, so the federal department does not run public schools daily or determine everything taught in all schools. SNAP is handled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the Department of Education.
