National
A U.S. Senate committee has advanced bipartisan legislation aimed at reversing key elements of the Trump administration's plan to dismantle the Department of Education, keeping oversight of K-12 education, special education, Title I, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Office of Postsecondary Education, and the Office of Indian Education within the department. The bill represents the strongest congressional challenge yet to the administration's restructuring efforts, although it still requires approval from the full Senate and faces an uncertain path in the House. The legislation also requires the Department of Education to provide quarterly reports on the cost of implementing the agency transfers, following concerns that the administration has already spent $1 million relocating one office and requested an additional $9m for the transition. While the administration defended the changes as improving efficiency and delivering "measurable results," critics argued the reorganization weakens protections for students with disabilities and civil rights enforcement by shifting responsibilities to other federal agencies.

Texas
Texas public school districts are increasingly closing and consolidating campuses as falling enrollment, rising costs, and state accountability requirements strain budgets. More than 150 campuses have closed or been approved for closure in less than three years, with districts citing declining student numbers, inflation, and the need to improve academic performance. State data shows public school enrollment fell by approximately 76,000 students in the 2025-26 school year—the first non-pandemic decline on record—with experts warning enrollment could fall by another 100,000 students this year. The trend has been fueled by growing demand for charter schools, private schools, homeschooling, demographic changes, and the rollout of Texas' Education Freedom Accounts program. Financial pressures are expected to persist, with a survey by the Texas Association of School Business Officials finding that 44% of districts anticipated ending fiscal 2025-26 with budget shortfalls, while 80% expected to make either minor or significant spending cuts in the next budget cycle. Districts across the state are continuing to evaluate additional campus closures and other cost-saving measures as lawmakers consider future school funding reforms.

Florida
The Classic Learning Test (CLT), touted by Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth as the new "gold standard" for college admissions, is primarily being used in Florida as a remedial graduation test. A USA TODAY investigation revealed that the CLT has become a substitute for traditional graduation exams, allowing students to earn diplomas without demonstrating essential skills, particularly in math. Anna DeJarnette, a University of Cincinnati professor, noted, "I can conceive that they would have more success on the CLT because there's a higher proportion of items that come in everything before algebra." While the test has reportedly boosted graduation rates, concerns remain about its effectiveness in preparing students for college and the workforce. Critics argue that the CLT's easier math section may mislead students into believing they are adequately prepared. As Florida raises the passing score, the debate continues over the test's true rigor and its implications for educational standards.
