An Uncertain Future: The U.S. Department of Education & K-12 Education Policy

In the opening of President Donald Trump’s second term, a series of sweeping executive actions have sent shockwaves through the federal government’s involvement in K–12 education—canceling research contracts, enacting mass layoffs at the U.S. Department of Education, and doubling down on a commitment to dismantle the department entirely. New guidance expands federal oversight to include curricula on diversity, equity, and inclusion, while formula programs that allocate the bulk of federal education dollars remain so far untouched. Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon has stated the “final mission” of the department is to restore state and local authority over public schools. What does all this mean for the future of America's children and their education? How do these shifts impact educators? What do they mean for the future of federal education policy? Our expert panel will discuss these critical issues and more.
