New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a major expansion of universal pre-kindergarten, pledging $1.7bn in new funding and requiring all school districts to offer full-day pre-K for four-year-olds by 2028–29. While lawmakers and advocates welcome the move as long-overdue progress, many warn the funding may not be sufficient to cover space, staffing and transport costs, potentially leaving districts, especially in higher-cost areas, struggling to deliver truly universal access. “This actually is pretty generous and pretty far reaching,” commented Brian Cechnicki, executive director of the Association of School Business Officials of New York. “It may not be fully sufficient to get to the full universal goal that everybody wants, but it is definitely a step in the right direction.” The plan will now be negotiated with the state legislature ahead of the April 1 budget deadline.

More than 140 high school students participated in Irvine's inaugural Policy Brief Competition, where they developed and presented policy proposals on pressing local issues such as e-bike safety, immigration enforcement, and housing affordability. Councilmember James Mai emphasized the importance of this initiative, remarking: "They have the chance to make real change in local government." The event, held on January 24, 2026, featured 18 teams competing for recognition, with the winning groups being honored by councilmembers on January 27. Mai noted the high energy and competitiveness of the event, emphasizing that students were eager to continue working on their proposals even during lunch. "Hopefully they can take something away from that and realize that they can make a difference, with just their voice, as students," he said.

Texas
In response to the recent protests following the killing of Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers, thousands of students across Texas staged walkouts. Governor Greg Abbott has called for a crackdown, suggesting that schools allowing such protests should be treated as "co-conspirators" and face funding cuts. Abbott's comments came after two students were detained in Kyle for allegedly resisting arrest. The Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced it would investigate any individuals who "encourage" student protests and could refer violators for sanctions. TEA spokesperson Jake Kobersky emphasized that educators must maintain an "objective and free from political bias" approach to teaching.

Florida
Florida public education advocates achieved a significant victory on Monday, halting a legislative push that would have required school districts to transfer taxpayer-funded property to charter schools. State Sen. Keith Truenow, R-Tavares, withdrew his bill (SB 824) that mandated districts with declining enrollment to offer undeveloped land to charter schools. Instead, he proposed an amendment to create an annual inventory of unimproved real property owned by school districts, omitting any reference to charter schools. This change reflects growing public disapproval of initiatives like Schools of Hope, which provide property to charter schools at no cost. Families for Strong Public Schools, which previously opposed the land transfer, expressed gratitude for the support. If approved, the amendment would delay the transfer of taxpayer-owned sites to charter schools.
