National
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from requiring U.S. colleges to submit seven years of detailed admissions data, including information on race, gender, test scores, and grade point averages. The order from Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV in Boston pauses the policy after 17 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit arguing the request was rushed, unlawful, and could expose sensitive personal information about individual students. The administration introduced the data demand following the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision that ended most race-conscious admissions policies, saying the information was needed to ensure universities were complying with the ruling. State officials opposing the policy argue it is part of a broader effort to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The temporary block relieves colleges from a looming March 18 deadline and will remain in place while the court considers the case.

California
California is expanding civics education as the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, but teachers are doing so in a highly polarized environment. State leaders are moving to add civics to school accountability measures and promote anniversary-related lessons and activities. Educators said they are focusing less on political flashpoints and more on helping students understand the Constitution, practice respectful debate, and engage in their communities. Michelle Herczog said teachers are “treading lightly” as they try to keep classrooms open, thoughtful, and nonpartisan.

Texas
Texas is advancing a new nutrition initiative through the Texas Nutrition Advisory Committee, a key part of the “Make Texas Healthy Again” effort. The committee will produce an annual report with updated dietary guidance, research summaries, and recommendations focused on nutrition and ultra-processed foods. Its work is expected to shape rules and education requirements across multiple state agencies and higher education programs. At its recent meeting, members reviewed the report framework, assigned workgroup responsibilities, and planned for expert input ahead of the September 1 deadline.

Florida
A bipartisan commission convened by the Bipartisan Policy Center has urged sweeping changes to the U.S. education and workforce systems to prepare students for disruptions driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The report says the federal government should coordinate a national workforce strategy, improve data systems that track students from school into careers, and fund research to help states align education with evolving labor market needs. The commission also recommends raising academic standards, creating a federal K–12 “scorecard” comparing state proficiency levels with national benchmarks, and providing incentives for states that improve student outcomes. It calls for redesigning high school so students graduate with credentials and skills relevant to employers, expanding competency-based learning models, and encouraging innovative teacher staffing strategies. While the strategy should be national, commissioners say implementation should largely occur at the state and local levels to respond to rapidly changing workforce demands.
