National
New National Education Association (NEA) President Princess Moss has outlined plans to move the nation's largest labor union away from traditional party affiliations and toward issue-based advocacy focused on public education and student needs. Representing approximately 3m teachers and public employees, the NEA has historically supported Democratic candidates, including Joe Biden in 2020 and Kamala Harris in 2024. However, Moss, a former elementary school music teacher, wants the organization to establish an independent political identity and work with lawmakers from both parties on education policy. Her priorities include addressing inflation-driven school budget pressures, the potential impact of federal school voucher programs, and the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education. While education policy observers view the proposed shift as a significant departure from the union's traditional approach, Moss has emphasized that the NEA will support policymakers who prioritize public education, regardless of political affiliation.

California
The California Teachers Association (CTA), the state's largest teachers union, has spent over $65.5m this election cycle, primarily supporting Proposition 3, which aims to make a temporary tax on high earners permanent to fund public schools and community colleges. "CTA’s contributions account for 87% of the Yes on 3 campaign’s funding," highlighting their significant influence. Additionally, CTA has invested $8.4m in support of State Superintendent of Public Instruction candidate Richard Barrera, contributing 96% of independent spending for his campaign. Other expenditures include $1.5m opposing Prop. 39 and $500,000 against Prop. 43. Unlike previous elections, CTA has limited its involvement in the governor's race, contributing only $39,200 to Xavier Becerra's campaign.

Texas
An investigation by The New York Times and the San Antonio Express-News reveals that Texas schools are increasingly funneling children into the juvenile justice system, with about 4,800 children aged 10 to 13 referred for prosecution in the 2024-25 academic year. However, Harris County is bucking this trend, significantly reducing referral rates through collaborative efforts among prosecutors, judges, and community leaders. Charles Rotramel, chief executive of Houston ReVision, said: "It took everybody," highlighting the importance of teamwork in reforming the system. The county has implemented diversion programs and focused on handling minor misbehavior within schools, resulting in a drop in juvenile detention populations. Despite these positive changes, advocates like Brett Merfish from Texas Appleseed stress the need for ongoing evaluation to ensure children receive necessary support and do not re-enter the system.
