Nearly half of California’s K-12 students attend schools with 5% or less tree canopy in student areas, leaving millions vulnerable to increasingly severe heat waves. An EdSource analysis found approximately 4,900 public schools faced high or severe heat risks during an October heat wave. Schools are responding by replacing asphalt with trees, shade, and outdoor learning spaces, including projects supported by California’s Green Schoolyards Grant Program. At Sacramento’s Parkway Elementary, 58 trees and 44 shrubs have transformed a former blacktop area into a greener learning environment. Research also suggests green schoolyards improve student behavior, reduce bullying, and support mental health. However, funding constraints continue to limit improvements. Sharon Gamson Danks, CEO of Green Schoolyards America, emphasized that schools need trees in "the hottest environments" where financial resources are most limited.

Democrats could significantly reshape federal education policy if they gain control of either chamber of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections, prioritizing oversight of the Trump administration’s restructuring of the Department of Education and increased funding for public schools. Democratic lawmakers have pledged to investigate the transfer of federal education responsibilities to other agencies, strengthen enforcement of existing education and civil rights laws, and potentially reverse the administration’s school choice initiatives. Proposals include tripling Title I funding for disadvantaged students, investing $130bn in school infrastructure, establishing a $60,000 minimum teacher salary, and expanding special education and prekindergarten funding. Democrats may also seek to repeal the federal tax credit scholarship program, which the administration estimates could reach $26bn annually by 2030. Potential areas for bipartisan cooperation, meanwhile, include early childhood education, career training, broadband funding, and safeguards governing artificial intelligence and student data.
