National
As national education spending per pupil increases, student enrollment is declining, raising concerns about the effectiveness of taxpayer dollars in public schools. Since 2002, K-12 spending has surged by over 35%, yet enrollment has dropped by 2.1%, equating to over a million students lost in five years. Test scores are also falling, with only one-third of students achieving proficiency in reading, according to the National Assessment Governing Board. Despite record spending, including New York's $32,284 per pupil in 2024, educational outcomes remain stagnant. The report by Reason Foundation highlights that public school spending is nearing $1trn annually, yet the achievement gap continues to widen.

California
Schools are increasingly confronting the issue of students using artificial intelligence (AI) to create sexually explicit deepfakes of their peers. This problem was notably highlighted in a Louisiana middle school, where two boys were charged after AI-generated nude images circulated, leading to one victim's expulsion for fighting. Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre stated: "This incident highlights a serious concern that all parents should address with their children." As of 2025, over half of U.S. states have enacted laws targeting deepfakes, with prosecutions occurring in multiple states. Experts like Sameer Hinduja emphasize the need for schools to update their policies and engage in discussions with students about the implications of AI-generated content. The trauma inflicted by deepfakes can be severe, as victims often struggle with anxiety and depression due to the viral nature of these images. Parents are encouraged to initiate conversations about online content to help mitigate these issues.

Texas
Texas acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock is attempting to block certain schools from participating in the state's new private school voucher program, citing alleged connections to the Chinese government and the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been labeled a terrorist organization by Governor Greg Abbott. In a letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton, Hancock expressed concerns about schools that have hosted events organized by CAIR and those potentially linked to foreign entities. The $1bn voucher program, known as "Texas Education Freedom Accounts," is set to begin processing applications in February, with funds available for the 2026-2027 school year.
