Federal Flash: The Trump Administration Faces Backlash on Plan to Reopen Schools
The Trump Administration doubles down on its aggressive push to reopen schools full time in the fall among outcries from educators and advocates. The House Appropriations Committee advanced legislation with a small boost for K-12 aid, but a cut for charter schools. Plus, multiple states sue to stop the Education Department’s rule on CARES Act aid for private school students, and the Civil Rights Data Collection is postponed, marking the first time since 1968 that the data will not be collected biennially.
