National
Nearly one-third of school and district leaders are not using generative artificial intelligence (AI) for operational tasks, according to a nationally representative EdWeek Research Center survey conducted between August 26 and October 6, 2026. The survey, which included 262 school and district leaders among 852 educators, found that administrators who use AI primarily apply it to communications, foreign-language translation, strategic planning, employee evaluations, and class scheduling. Education leaders identified student privacy concerns, limited staff expertise, insufficient professional development, and the absence of national guidelines as significant barriers to broader adoption. While many districts remain focused on AI's instructional implications, some are exploring its potential to improve administrative efficiency. Washington state's Peninsula School District, for example, uses AI to optimize transportation routes, enrollment reporting, and substitute teacher data analysis. Education leaders emphasized the importance of providing staff training, establishing clear safeguards, and developing consistent national guidance to help schools use AI effectively while protecting sensitive student information.

The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), representing approximately 1.8m members, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the U.S. Department of Education unlawfully delayed or denied student loan forgiveness for tens of thousands of eligible public service workers. The lawsuit accuses Education Secretary Linda McMahon of miscalculating qualifying payments, reducing borrowers' previously credited payment counts, and failing to process applications under the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Buyback program. The program allows eligible government and nonprofit employees to receive federal student loan forgiveness after 120 qualifying payments, generally over 10 years. According to a court filing, approximately 88,000 borrowers were awaiting buyback decisions as of spring 2026. AFT President Randi Weingarten argues that the delays have forced teachers, nurses, and first responders to continue making payments despite meeting forgiveness requirements. The Education Department disputes the allegations.
