Many high schools are increasingly integrating career and technical education (CTE) with college preparatory coursework, challenging the traditional separation of these tracks. According to a recent EdWeek Research Center survey, 17% of educators report that CTE and college prep are combined so seamlessly that it is difficult to determine which receives more resources. Amy Loyd, the chief executive officer of All4Ed, emphasized that “CTE is college preparation,” highlighting its role in enhancing student learning and outcomes. The survey also revealed that rural educators are more likely to prioritize CTE compared to their urban and suburban counterparts. Loyd noted that rural students may not be less interested in college but may lack access to nearby institutions. The survey, conducted from September 18 to October 27, included responses from 472 school and district leaders and teachers involved in CTE.

California
The 2025 California School Dashboard, released on November 13th, serves as a key tool in the state's accountability system, aiming for equitable outcomes among student groups. It displays up to eight performance indicators, including Chronic Absenteeism and Graduation Rate, using a color-coded system to indicate performance levels. "The Dashboard provides a public and transparent view of school performance," said Janice Lourenzo, director of school support for the Humboldt County Office of Education. The Dashboard has shown statewide improvement across nearly every indicator, with notable growth in Humboldt County schools like Scotia School and South Bay School. Ultimately, the Dashboard fosters awareness and encourages meaningful conversations about school performance.

Texas
Members of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce are advocating for the Texas Education Agency's (TEA) takeover of Fort Worth ISD. This follows a visit to Houston ISD, which was taken over by TEA in 2023. The groups observed that "Houston ISD students are engaged, teachers are focused, and all adults... are being held accountable for student success," highlighting the positive impact of TEA intervention. The Fort Worth school district was taken over in October due to a fifth consecutive failing grade at Forest Oak Sixth Grade Center.

Alan Levine, the incoming chair of Florida's Board of Governors, is establishing a special committee on Student Safety and Success in response to recent campus shootings at Brown University and Florida State University. Levine emphasized the importance of student safety, stating, "Student safety is not an afterthought for Florida's universities." The committee will collaborate with the governor and legislature to assess Florida's safety initiatives and monitor university efforts to protect students while maintaining free expression. This initiative follows a tragic shooting at Brown University on December 13, which left two dead and nine injured. Additionally, Florida lawmakers are considering legislation to allow trained employees to carry firearms on college campuses. Levine's term begins in January, with the board's next meetings scheduled for January 28 and 29 at Florida State University.
