    2025 in Reflection: Federal Uncertainty and Public Schools

    2025 has been a year of unprecedented instability for America’s public schools. In this episode of All4Ed Flash, we break down the growing uncertainty facing public education—from proposed cuts to the U.S. Department of Education and widespread federal layoffs, to efforts to dismantle or relocate key education functions across other federal agencies. We explore how these shifts threaten federal oversight, equity protections, and critical student supports, while leaving educators, families, states, and school districts struggling to plan amid ongoing budget gridlock in Congress. As the year comes to a close with no final education budget in sight, the stakes for students and educators could not be higher. Join us as we examine what’s at risk, why these policy decisions matter, and how All4Ed remains committed to advocating for a strong, inclusive public education system that serves all students—no matter their background or zip code.

    A Decade of ESSA: Equity, Accountability, and a New Challenge Ahead

    In this All4Ed Flash, we mark the 10th anniversary of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and break down what the law was designed to do, how states have used its flexibility, and why equity remains at risk a decade later. We explain the latest efforts by the Trump administration to allow states to waive key ESSA protections while attempting to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education—and how Congress is pushing back. We also introduce ESSA Waiver Watch, our new resource with EdTrust and the National Parents Union, designed to help advocates track waivers and protect the civil rights guardrails that ensure all students receive a high-quality education.

    SNAP Saved, Schools Strained: Inside the Shutdown Deal

    After the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, a bipartisan deal has finally reopened the federal government—at least through January 30, 2026. In this episode of the All4Ed Flash, Enrique Chaurand breaks down what’s in the agreement, including backpay for furloughed workers, restored jobs, continued SNAP benefits, and an upcoming vote on extending Obamacare tax credits. But while the shutdown is over, its impact on the U.S. Department of Education has been severe. Critical offices responsible for civil rights enforcement, special education oversight, federal education data, and the management of K–12 and higher education programs have been hollowed out. Investigations are stalled, oversight has weakened, and states and districts may face disruptions in key federal funding streams that millions of students rely on. We explore what this means for students, families, educators, and the long-term health of the education system—and why recovery must now be a national priority.
