Trump’s K12 education plan

In our past conversations with experts, many have told us that Trump聽is not overly focused on聽K12 education. Arman Jaffer, a policy aide to the chief technology officer during the Trump 91看片istration, argues the Trump administration will not spend much political capital making structural changes to the national education system.

“I expect the new administration to explore how technology and alternative school models can be used to achieve improved student performance,” says Jaffer, CEO and founder of Brisk Teaching, an AI teaching platform. “In a nod to some of the persistent cultural clashes happening at school boards across the country, we can also expect the new Republican administration to advocate for more local control and parent involvement in curriculum.”

One policy in particular continues to make media headlines, and that’s Trump’s proposal to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, which would transfer more power to the states, parents and local governments, according to the website.

Several presidents in the past have tried to limit the department’s power, including our 40th president, , who also argued that education should be managed at the state and local levels.

Basil Smikle, professor and director of the M.S. in Nonprofit Management Program at Columbia University School of Professional Studies, says that dismantling the department altogether is arguably the most impactful policy Trump has outlined for K12.

“Conservative and Democratic lawmakers alike are in districts that get substantial funding, particularly in red states and rural communities where many schools benefit from Title I funds,” Smikle says.

Obviously, no Republican president has successfully closed the department because of the difficulty of eliminating all the programs that the DOE supports. The more likely scenario, Smikle explains, is a scaling down of equity and civil rights offices that will impact everything from school discipline to graduation rates and curriculum.

Additionally, Trump may use the agency to push for more school choice options in the form of education tax credits, charter schools and voucher programs.

“Since many of these programs and indeed much education policy is determined at the state level, he’ll need to rely on a carrot and stick approach鈥攕upport states when they comply with federal programs, i.e., Race to the Top, or withhold funding for states that reject his proposals,” Smikle says.

As far as curriculum goes, Smikle says leaders should expect more local battles over content. Constituencies supportive of Trump’s platform may also assert more power over school- and district-level decisions “now that they have an ally in the White House.”

About Linda McMahon

McMahon has an extensive resume ranging from experience in business and politics. Her relationship with Trump dates back to the mid-2000s when he appeared at Wrestlemania in 2007.

Her political journey began in 2010 after she stepped down from her leadership role in the WWE to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut. She lost both times she ran, to Richard Blumenthal in her first campaign and to Chris Murphy in 2012.

She also has been a prominent supporter of Trump’s presidential campaigns. McMahon gave six million dollars to Trump after he earned the presidential nomination in 2016, the Associated Press聽.

One month into his previous presidency, Trump appointed McMahon to lead the , where she provided entrepreneurs with capital to support their businesses and federal contracting opportunities. The agency also distributed financial assistance following declared disasters.

However, her nomination has already met with some controversy. According to The Hill, McMahon has been accused of negligence regarding a sexual abuse case while she was with the WWE.

The lawsuit, , accuses her and her husband, Vince McMahon, of knowing about a ringside announcer who allegedly abused young boys for years but refused to do anything about it. The plaintiffs, who remain unnamed, said announcer Mel Phillips, who died in 2012, sexually assaulted them when they served as “ring boys” in the 1980s. They were responsible for running errands and setting up venues for fights.

“Thanks to the bravery of our clients, we finally have a chance to hold accountable those who allowed and enabled the open, rampant sexual abuse of these young boys,” Gren Gutzler, a partner at DiCello Levitt, who is leading the litigation, said in a .

McMahon has since denied the allegations and plans to fight against the suit.

Some eight million youth have entered the electorate in 2024, from the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) suggests. This election season’s newest voters are a diverse bunch, too, as nearly half of newly eligible voters are people of color.

Eighty-three percent of Gen Z plan to vote this year, a new survey from the National Society of High School Scholars suggests. Seventy percent of them already know which candidate they’ll vote for. Both male (68%) and female (77%) respondents believe the U.S. is ready for a female president.

One interesting finding is that nearly every Gen Z respondent (90%) believes there should be an age cap for presidential candidates. A quarter of them say 60 is too old to run for president.

Issues at stake

When asked to rank their top concerns this election season, the economy, healthcare, women’s rights and the environment were most commonly named. Here’s how those issues vary in importance by gender:

• Top three issues for women: economy (27%), women’s rights (24%) and healthcare (20%)
• Top three issues for men: economy (47%), healthcare (11%), the environment (10%) and immigration (10%)

Nearly three-fourths of Gen Z say their high school has prepared them to make informed decisions about voting. Nearly 25% of them have participated in voter education initiatives at their school or communities.

The post These are the 10 best school districts in the country appeared first on District 91看片istration.

According to data published in April, some 33% or more of teachers trust 苍别颈迟丑别谤听political party to improve several education issues. This includes topics like funding (33%), teacher pay (35%), access to high-quality education (31%), shaping school curriculum (42%) and making schools safer (35%).

Meanwhile, the majority of public school teachers identify as Democrats, the research adds. Only 35% lean to the right. Could our current presidential candidates garner more support from America’s teachers?

The National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers union, in July and thanked President Biden for his leadership.

“Our students’ future will be shaped by the decisions made in the Oval Office over the next four years, and the future of our public schools, freedoms and democracy is on the ballot this fall,” said Becky Pringle, president of the NEA.

Harris and K12

The union’s support for Harris dates back to 2017 when she was a U.S. senator. She received an “A” grade from the NEA based on how she voted on critical legislation, spanning public education to labor.

During her 2020 presidential campaign, she advocated for teacher pay increases of $13,500 for every teacher, universal preschool and increased funding for Head Start programs. Most recently, she’s played a key role in securing billions in federal funding through the American Rescue Plan, which helped support schools as they recovered from the pandemic.

Also under the current administration, $167 billion in student loans has been wiped clean, impacting roughly 4.75 million Americans and counting.

“One out of every 10 federal student loan borrowers approved for debt relief means one out of every 10 borrowers now has financial breathing room and a burden lifted,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona.

K12 education is typically a “party splitter” for Democrats, says Dale Chu, an independent consultant on education programs and policy and a senior visiting fellow at the Thomas Fordham Institute, an education reform think tank. But until Harris selects her secretary of education, if elected, it’s hard to say how education might be impacted.

“Consider the parlor game among insiders about who Harris might pick for her cabinet and note how education is usually off of the list,” says Chu. “But if I were to put money down, my guess is that Harris would largely hew to Biden’s education priorities, which on K12 meant no daylight between the White House and the teachers unions.”

Donald Trump and Project 2025

With former president Donald Trump, the elephant in the room for many educators is . The policy aims to dismantle the Department of Education by shifting control and funding of education from D.C. to parents and state and local governments.

Wead茅 James, senior director for K12 Education Policy at the Center for American Progress, says Project 2025 puts education at risk. “The proposal to eliminate the Department of Education is very concerning,” she says. The Department has numerous responsibilities, like ensuring states have adequate funding to provide equal access to education for students with disabilities under the (IDEA).

“The Department of Education is actually the least funded in terms of cabinet agencies,” explains James.

Title I support for America’s most marginalized students would also be in jeopardy under Project 2025. According to James, the current playbook seeks to phase out such funding over 10 years and relinquish that responsibility over to the states.

However, these ideas ring hollow for Chu, who says the GOP has been trying to eliminate the Department of Education since Jimmy Carter. “When Trump talks about deep-sixing it, he’s all hat and no cattle,” says Chu. “Which is to say, he’s got no plan to rally popular support for shutting the agency down, let alone marshaling the votes needed on Capitol Hill to make it happen.”

Trump’s impact on K12 during his first term was hardly measurable, adds Chu. Instead, he’ll likely feed off of COVID’s negative impact to propel his larger movements.

“In a second term, he’ll stoke the culture war fires when it’s convenient and some will sympathize with his calls for private school choice, but that’s in large part because many parents are still frustrated about what happened with their kids during COVID,” explains Chu.

School vouchers

One topic that聽James says is gaining rapid momentum is the school choice movement. As of April, at least 29 states have adopted some form of an Education Savings Account, according to the .

James worries that such policies will dramatically impact public school funding. “Parents can now pursue vouchers using public school dollars to send their children to private schools,” she says. “Not just private schools, but we’re also seeing the evolution of different choice options. Now, we’re seeing micro-schools.”

We don’t know how these schools are structured, either, she adds. There’s no federal definition of a micro-school, although there are numerous state definitions and policies.

“None of them are using state curriculum, we don’t know who the educators are,” she says. “There are a lot of concerns there when we think about school choice and the layers to it.”

And finally, she questions who’s benefitting from private school vouchers. Many states only award as much as $8,000 when average tuition costs are much higher.

“It’s going to benefit the parents who have the means to make up the difference,” she explains. “There are concerns surrounding equity when we think about the use of taxpayer dollars to fund private and religious education.”

Political turmoil in recent years has led to higher voter turnout in our younger population than ever. In the 2022 midterm elections, it’s estimated that 27% of youth ages 18-29 cast a ballot, according to from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts University. The current political climate is again boosting engagement, but how is it impacting college choice?

Political considerations are a factor in college choice for roughly three out of every four students, the research affirms. For instance, liberal-leaning students say they’re most concerned about attending college in states like Texas, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina.

On the other end of the political spectrum, conservative students would rather not attend college in California and New York.

“Understanding these dynamics is essential for educational institutions aiming to attract and retain a diverse student body,” said Jarrett Smith, senior vice president at Echo Delta, which published the report.

Additionally, the report explains what political factors keep students from applying to a particular college. Survey respondents cited issues such as racial equity (58%), healthcare (56%) and freedom of speech (53%) as their top three concerns.

Higher education institutions聽offset these fears by fostering a welcoming and inclusive campus, the research suggests. Students themselves expressed a desire for colleges to maintain open communication about their political stances and promote free speech on campus.

Liberal and politically active students prefer institutions to take transparent stances on political issues, especially those surrounding racial equity and freedom of speech.

In a fundraising email, the state GOP explained that students are at risk of “LGBTQ indoctrination.”

“Our next policy aims to save Colorado children from progressive Democrats who want to turn more kids trans by requiring teachers to use ‘pronouns’ that do not make any sense and cause gender confusion,” the email reads.

The authors specifically cited backlash to , which was passed last month. “In reality, all Colorado parents should be aiming to remove their kids from public education,” according to the strongly-worded email.

“The bill, sponsored by four far-left progressives, two of whom do not know their own genders and do not have children, requires teachers in public schools to use ‘pronouns’ for kids with gender confusion that do not align with their actual specific gender, without parental consent.”

Senator Faith Winter, D- Adams, Broomfield, and Weld Counties, one of the bill’s sponsors, said the law is critical to ensuring the safety of students.

“This bill is asking educators to use a child’s chosen name when they’re in school,” reports. “And this is really important because children are going to learn better, have better access to education, and this is going to save lives.”
