National
U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon told a Yale audience she wants to reduce the federal role in schools and “shut down the bureaucracy of education,” while continuing funding through block grants that give states more discretion. She said the goal is to leave states a “toolkit of best practices” and defended using funding pressure to influence universities. McMahon also highlighted literacy, school choice and career education, while describing criticism of her canceled Fairfield school visit as driven by “a minority of a few loud voices.” She also said literacy was her top priority and argued universities should ensure equal opportunity while meeting Yale leaders and discussing grade inflation during her Connecticut stop earlier that day.

California
California schools are grappling with severe weather disruptions, with nearly 60,000 K-12 students affected this year alone. The California Schools Healthy Air, Plumbing and Efficiency Program (CalSHAPE) was established to upgrade aging infrastructure but has halted funding due to concerns over rising utility costs. Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris said: "Anytime that we are asking for ratepayers to fund these initiatives, we need to take a very, very close look at the cost effectiveness." Environmental advocates argue that the funds should be utilized for necessary upgrades, as JuNelle Harris, co-founder of Clean Air Allies, pointed out: "The bottom line is there is no other funding source at hand." With only a fraction of schools receiving the needed support, the situation remains critical as climate change continues to threaten educational stability.

Texas
Texas Democratic attorney general runoff candidates Joe Jaworski and Nathan Johnson are using the May 26 contest to argue that major Republican-backed laws passed last year are unconstitutional and harmful to public governance. Jaworski, the former Galveston mayor, said he would consider suing over the state’s school choice program, calling it a diversion of tax dollars from public education. Johnson, a state senator from Dallas, said he would refuse to defend the Ten Commandments classroom law because “it’s unconstitutional.” Beyond those legal fights, Johnson said he wants to rebuild the culture of the Attorney General’s Office and strengthen market competition, while Jaworski proposed new divisions focused on affordability, voter encouragement, and ethics investigations targeting powerful state officials.

Florida
The Wall Street Journal looks at how an influx of wealthy families into South Florida is intensifying pressure on private school capacity and prompting billionaires to fund new campuses tailored to elite expectations. Jeff Greene built The Greene School in West Palm Beach after seeing too few openings for incoming families, creating a campus with flight simulators, 3-D printing, sailing, and tightly managed dismissal systems. Other high-profile figures, including Stephen Ross, Adam Neumann, and John Marshall, are also backing new schools despite steep costs, permitting delays, and neighborhood resistance. Greene said: “You can’t just write a check and magically have a great school.” The expansion push reflects a growing belief among affluent parents that strong private-school options are essential for relocation, especially for families focused on prestigious college admissions and specialized programming.
