The American Statistical Association has called for a major overhaul of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), recommending that it become a modern, data-focused partner to states rather than simply return to its previous structure. The report proposes stronger data governance, greater interoperability, and expanded technical capacity to help connect and improve education data collected across state and federal systems. NCES’ ability to support states has been severely reduced after its workforce fell from 103 employees to three in early 2025, and roughly three-quarters of its contracts were canceled. The report argues that rebuilding the agency could restore its role in providing technical assistance, promoting common data standards, and enabling nationally comparable education statistics. States are already developing more sophisticated approaches to data sharing, including California’s Cradle-to-Career Data System, Virginia’s Commonwealth Data Trust Portal, and Ohio’s statewide data-sharing compact. However, differences in governance, resources, and technical capabilities continue to limit nationwide comparability. The report envisions NCES serving as a bridge between state education systems and the broader federal statistical infrastructure. It also sees potential for privacy-enhancing technologies and AI to improve data discovery and linkage, although researchers stress that NCES must first rebuild its staffing and capacity before taking on major new initiatives.

The Trump administration has proposed Treasury regulations that would threaten the tax-exempt status of private K-12 schools, colleges, and trade schools that use race-based preferences in admissions, scholarships, financial aid, athletics, or other programs. The rules, which the Treasury Department says would affect 18,000 educational institutions, would still allow schools to consider race-neutral factors such as family income, geography, individual hardship, academic achievement, and first-generation status, as well as religious affiliation. The administration has tied the proposal to the Supreme Court’s 2023 affirmative-action ruling and its broader campaign against DEI initiatives, while critics argue the regulations go beyond the court’s decision and could discourage schools from pursuing programs aimed at addressing discrimination. The rules would take effect after May 31, 2027, and educators and advocates have 60 days to submit comments or request a public hearing.

New U.S. Department of Justice guidance has raised concerns among disability advocates and researchers that schools could scale back transition planning designed to prepare students with disabilities for college, employment, and independent living. The DOJ has said it will no longer rely on Olmstead guidance when enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act, although the 1999 Supreme Court ruling itself has not been overturned. Experts warn that the change could confuse educators about their obligations and weaken expectations for community-based, independent living, while transition plans required under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act must still address postsecondary education or training, employment, and, when appropriate, independent living. Three Democratic lawmakers have called on the DOJ to rescind the guidance, arguing that it risks reversing decades of progress toward greater integration for people with disabilities.
