A coalition of 20 states and the District of Columbia has sued the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), arguing that new grant conditions tied to federal funding could threaten billions of dollars for school meal and nutrition programs. The lawsuit, brought by states as California, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia, challenges rules introduced at the end of 2025 that prohibit grant recipients from using funds for activities related to “gender ideology,” immigration incentives, or policies affecting women’s sports, with states claiming the requirements are unlawful and overly broad. State attorneys general argue the USDA lacks authority to impose such conditions, noting that Congress mandates access to school meal programs regardless of immigration status, and that the rules introduce uncertainty and administrative burden. The USDA has said the conditions are intended to ensure compliance with federal law, but has declined to comment on the ongoing litigation.

The Los Angeles USD Board of Education has unanimously approved a resolution to designate March 31 as "Farm Workers Day," moving away from honoring labor leader César Chávez. This decision, introduced by board members Kelly Gonez and Rocío Rivas, emphasizes the collective efforts of farmworkers rather than the legacy of a single individual. Gonez expressed her horror at the recent allegations of sexual abuse against Chávez, stating, "I'm so grateful for the bravery of the survivors who have openly shared their stories." The board's vote follows a New York Times investigation revealing disturbing accusations against Chávez, prompting a reassessment of how he is commemorated. The resolution also includes plans to rename the César Chávez Learning Academies in San Fernando and César Chávez Elementary School in El Sereno and to provide resources for survivors of sexual violence.

Texas
Peter B. Licata has been appointed as the new superintendent of the Fort Worth ISD by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). He begins his role on a 21-day interim contract, with formal approval expected soon. Licata's vision for Fort Worth ISD is clear: “My North Star for Fort Worth ISD is simple and unwavering: every student reading on grade level, mastering mathematics, and graduating prepared for college, career, or military service,” he said. Previously, Licata served as the superintendent of Broward County Public Schools in Florida, where he achieved an “A” rating for the district, its first in over 14 years. An editorial in the Star-Telegram argues Fort Worth ISD should rally behind the state-led overhaul while demanding transparency and results. It says Superintendent Licata and the new board must tackle academic struggles, communicate clearly, and help build stronger district leadership for the future.

Florida
Congressman Byron Donalds and his wife, Erika, are proposing significant changes to Florida's education system, starting with a new grading system for schools. At a campaign event at Miami Dade College's Doral campus, Byron Donalds criticized the current grading system, stating: “Revamping of the grading system is going to be to make sure that, yes, you are making sure the kids are getting the key fundamental building blocks.” The couple's vision includes individual education plans for all students, promoting trades and apprenticeships, and increasing private enterprise involvement in education. Erika Donalds, a former investment firm executive with ties to the charter school industry, emphasized the need for a competitive market in education, comparing the current system to outdated technology.
