Navigating the Rapid Pace of Education Policy Change: Your Questions, Answered

This is the first in a webinar series brought to you by Education Week subscriptions.

Will the U.S. Department of Education be eliminated, and what will that mean for our schools? What’s in store for Title I and IDEA? How should we react to a directive to stop DEI programming? What can we expect as immigration enforcement accelerates and schools are no longer off limits? Will we be able to access the money that’s already been allocated to our district? Do we need to change our athletic program rules? What will the courts say about all of this?

The Trump administration is acting decisively to put its stamp on K-12 education. Some of its actions raise immediate questions for school district leaders about how to comply with new directives, and others raise long-term questions about what the future of federal support for public education will look like.

Join us as we try to break down this flood of policy changes and what they mean for district leaders, building administrators, teachers, and others.

Attendees will come away with the following:

• An understanding of key education policy developments affecting K-12 schools since the start of the Trump administration
• An introduction to resources Education Week has developed to help school district leaders and education policy watchers track legal developments and the Trump administration’s approach to enforcement of its policy agenda
• Answers to your questions about how school districts should respond to policy changes (note: preference will be given to questions submitted by EdWeek subscribers)
