The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has launched a comprehensive review of its E-Rate program, a roughly $3bn annual subsidy scheme that has funded internet connectivity for schools and libraries for nearly 30 years. FCC Chair Brendan Carr said a proposal outlining potential changes will be released this week, with an initial commission vote scheduled for June 25. The review comes amid growing concerns about excessive screen time among children. Carr noted that several states and school districts are already limiting device usage, particularly for younger students, while the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently issued the first Surgeon General's warning on the potential harms of excessive screen use. The FCC is seeking public feedback on both the legal and policy implications of children's access to subsidized internet services, including how parents, guardians, and teachers should be involved in related decisions. A senior FCC official said the review will examine whether the program has fulfilled its original mission and whether ongoing funding remains consistent with congressional objectives. The E-Rate program is funded through fees collected from telecommunications companies and passed on to consumers via the Universal Service Fee on phone bills. The review follows the FCC's September decision to end subsidies for Wi-Fi on school buses, after the agency allocated $48m to support onboard internet access in 2024.

A new national survey of educators by the EdWeek Research Center found that heightened federal immigration enforcement during the 2025-26 school year contributed to increased anxiety, fear, and absenteeism among immigrant students, particularly in large urban districts. Among educators working with immigrant populations, 57% reported students expressing fear and anxiety, up from 50% in the fall, while reports of reduced attendance rose to 39% from 24%. The proportion of educators reporting no impact from immigration enforcement fell to 23%. Schools have increasingly responded by expanding counseling and mental health services, with 36% of educators reporting additional support for affected students, compared with 26% in the fall. Educators described disruptions to learning, attendance challenges, and concerns about academic performance as immigration enforcement activities occurred in surrounding communities. Survey results also showed that nearly three-quarters of schools serving immigrant students now have formal or informal protocols in place for responding to requests from federal immigration authorities.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has introduced the Educator Misconduct Dashboard, an interactive online tool designed to enhance transparency regarding teacher misconduct. This resource provides access to misconduct reports, investigations, and the Do Not Hire Registry, which currently lists over 4,000 individuals ineligible for employment due to misconduct or criminal history. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath emphasized the importance of transparency, claiming: "This dashboard and associated resources reflect our commitment to ensuring the safety of all students and the integrity of those privileged to serve in our classrooms." The dashboard also includes a Student Protection Resource Center, offering guidance on detecting and reporting signs of neglect or abuse, as required by Texas law. TEA Inspector General for Educator Misconduct Levi Fuller noted that the dashboard serves as a "one stop hub" for critical information.
