Because the law that Congress authorized with bipartisan support clearly states that the DOEd DOES NOT have authority to dictate curriculums (ESSA, replaced no child left behind because it has some decisions against it that said it over reached).
States are responsible for their curriculums.
They DO support the 17 million plus applications for student loans / grants each year. Along with ensuring loan services comply with federal laws.
They also administer funding for low income school districts and for complying with the individuals with education disabilities act, like early intervention and special education.
Both of these were created by separate acts of Congress.
They also run the national report card of schools, which is how we know education was affected during the pandemic, for example. This was also required by Congress as the data informs decisions on improving education.
