National
Democratic governors are divided over whether to opt into a new federal tax-credit scholarship program that would, for the first time, use federal tax policy to support private school choice. While nearly all Republican governors are participating, many Democrats remain cautious, questioning whether the program will primarily benefit private schools rather than public school students. The program offers taxpayers dollar-for-dollar federal tax credits of up to $1,700 for donations to nonprofits that fund K–12 scholarships, which can be used for a wide range of education-related expenses at public or private schools. Although the law allows public school students to benefit through tutoring, enrichment or after-school services, critics argue most funds are likely to flow initially to private school tuition due to existing infrastructure and fewer safeguards. Supporters say Democratic governors should opt in to shape the program’s development, while opponents warn it could accelerate enrollment declines and weaken public school systems.

California
California's latest standardized test results reveal alarming trends, with only 47% of students meeting English standards and 36% meeting math standards, according to the 2024–25 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress. Jill Stegman, a retired educator, emphasized that "if we continue judging them without acknowledging who they serve — and who they don't — we will continue diagnosing the wrong problem." She says challenges stem from high rates of poverty, housing instability, and a significant population of English learners. These factors contribute to lower academic outcomes, while the exclusion of private school students from testing data skews the overall picture. To improve scores, she says, California must address these underlying issues, including expanding affordable housing and providing targeted support for struggling students.

Texas
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has appointed Levi Fuller as its first inspector general for Educator Misconduct, a role aimed at enhancing student safety across the state's public school system. TEA Commissioner Mike Morath highlighted Fuller's extensive experience, stating: "With more than a decade of experience holding bad actors accountable, Levi will help root out the flawed few that sow distrust among families." Fuller will oversee the enforcement of new laws and manage the response to allegations of educator misconduct, working closely with the TEA's Educator Investigation Division. His responsibilities include guiding policy recommendations to various state bodies. A veteran and former assistant attorney general, Fuller is committed to ensuring a safe learning environment for Texas' 5.5m public school students. The new laws he will enforce include provisions for civil claims against schools for misconduct and expanded reporting requirements.

Florida
Florida lawmakers are reassessing the use of public school facilities by for-profit charter schools, specifically those known as 'Schools of Hope,' which operate rent-free. Senate Bill 424 and House Bill 6023 aim to reverse this policy. Critics, including Charla Fox, a math teacher at South Fort Myers High School, argue that this arrangement burdens taxpayers and students. Fox stated: “Having more students, more teachers working off the same budget, but actually having less to educate our students with — yeah, those are all major concerns I have.” Kevin Daly, president of the Teachers' Association of Lee County, echoed these concerns, noting the strain on district resources. State Sen. Jonathan Martin acknowledged the need for efficiency but expressed caution about potential long-term consequences.
