National
A bipartisan Senate bill introduced by Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) would provide $20 million over two years to strengthen cybersecurity in K-12 schools through new federal resources, including a Cybersecurity Information Exchange, a Cybersecurity Incident Registry, and a School Cybersecurity Improvement Program. The proposal, a renewed version of legislation that failed to pass in 2023, would be directed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to help schools access best practices, funding opportunities, cybersecurity tools, and training. The legislation would also establish a national registry to track the dates, details, and outcomes of cyberattacks against K-12 schools, helping identify trends and improve prevention and response strategies. Education organizations, including the Consortium for School Networking and the National Association of Elementary School Principals, have endorsed the proposal, citing the growing threat ransomware and other cyberattacks pose to schools, student data, and classroom operations.

California
Former Los Angeles USD (LAUSD) Superintendent Austin Beutner is urging California lawmakers to reject Assembly Bill 2440, arguing that it would weaken voter-approved protections established under Proposition 28, the 2022 ballot measure that dedicates roughly $1bn annually to expanding arts education in public schools. Beutner, who authored Proposition 28, contends the bill would allow districts to use the funding to replace existing arts spending rather than expand programs, contrary to the measure's original intent, and could effectively shield districts from legal challenges over past spending practices. The dispute centers on LAUSD, which Beutner sued in 2025, alleging the district improperly replaced existing arts funding with Proposition 28 money instead of supplementing it. LAUSD has denied any wrongdoing, maintains it has complied with state guidance, and says it did not help draft the legislation. Supporters of AB 2440, including several education and arts organizations, argue the bill is needed to clarify ambiguous funding rules that have complicated implementation across school districts. The bill has already passed the California Assembly unanimously and is awaiting consideration in the State Senate.

Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott has appointed 21 current and former educators from school districts across Texas to serve on the newly created Texas Classroom Commission, a teacher-led advisory group that will develop recommendations to strengthen classroom instruction, support teachers, and improve student achievement ahead of the state's 90th Legislative Session. The commission will provide guidance to the Governor, the Texas Education Agency, and the Texas Legislature, and is chaired by former teacher and State Board for Educator Certification Chair Courtney Boswell MacDonald. The commission builds on previous education initiatives, including the Teacher Vacancy Taskforce and the Texas Commission on Special Education Funding, which contributed to increased special education funding, higher teacher pay, expansion of the Teacher Incentive Allotment, and classroom discipline reforms. Abbott said the new panel will ensure educators play a central role in shaping the future of public education in Texas.

Florida
A growing number of states are tightening restrictions on four-day school weeks as more districts adopt the abbreviated schedule to address budget pressures and teacher shortages. Indiana recently enacted a law requiring schools to meet new academic and operational standards, including maintaining an A state accountability rating, offering enrichment and intervention programs on non-school days, and meeting the state's $45,000 minimum teacher salary, before receiving annual approval to continue using a four-day schedule. More than 2,100 schools in 26 states operated on four-day weeks during the 2024-25 school year, up from about 1,600 schools in 24 states six years earlier, although they still represent a small fraction of U.S. public schools. Research has generally found little difference in student achievement when instructional hours are maintained. Supporters of four-day weeks argue the model helps rural districts recruit teachers and better meet local needs, while critics say policymakers should ensure shortened schedules do not negatively affect student learning.
