The U.S. Department of Education is not doing enough to ensure states provide reliable chronic absenteeism data or comply with requirements under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. The GAO said the department’s suspension of comprehensive state monitoring could increase the risk of waste, fraud, and abuse involving more than $25bn in federal K-12 funding, while inconsistent state methodologies make national absenteeism data difficult to compare. An audit also identified schools reporting implausible figures, including attendance rates above 100%. The Education Department disputed several conclusions, citing more than 100 oversight and monitoring activities between 2019 and 2025, and said it plans to introduce a new monitoring system this fall. The GAO recommended resuming comprehensive monitoring and establishing a more consistent approach to absenteeism reporting, while the department agreed to issue nonbinding guidance.

Voters will decide on 373 school district bond measures this November, representing nearly $53bn in proposed borrowing for construction, facility upgrades, safety improvements, and other capital projects. Districts are asking for larger sums than before the COVID-19 pandemic, partly because of higher construction costs and a shift toward larger, more comprehensive projects, while voter approval rates have fallen from 82% in 2018 to 75% in 2024. Safety and security spending has become increasingly common, with the number of bond measures proposing such investments roughly doubling between 2018 and 2024, and secure entrance projects rising sharply. However, smaller and lower-wealth districts can face greater difficulty using bonds because borrowing capacity depends heavily on local property values, making major capital projects harder to finance without state or federal support.
