Schools are increasingly confronting the issue of students using artificial intelligence (AI) to create sexually explicit deepfakes of their peers. This problem was notably highlighted in a Louisiana middle school, where two boys were charged after AI-generated nude images circulated, leading to one victim's expulsion for fighting. Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre stated: "This incident highlights a serious concern that all parents should address with their children." As of 2025, over half of U.S. states have enacted laws targeting deepfakes, with prosecutions occurring in multiple states. Experts like Sameer Hinduja emphasize the need for schools to update their policies and engage in discussions with students about the implications of AI-generated content. The trauma inflicted by deepfakes can be severe, as victims often struggle with anxiety and depression due to the viral nature of these images. Parents are encouraged to initiate conversations about online content to help mitigate these issues.

In a detailed report, families and advocates express alarm over President Trump’s proposed $1 trillion Medicaid cuts, which fund crucial support services for nearly 1 million children with disabilities in California. Parents like Lindsay Crain and Lelah Coppedge worry about losing therapies, equipment, and home care essential to their children’s independence. “It feels like we’re going backward,” said Coppedge. Cuts could also impact school-based services, and the potential transfer of special education oversight to a medical-focused agency further raises fears. Advocates warn decades of progress in disability rights are at risk.

Texas
Texas lawmakers are exploring new methods to evaluate school performance following lawsuits over state report cards. Leander School District's locally based evaluation system, introduced in 2021, aims for a "holistic approach" to assess schools beyond standardized tests, according to Brenda Cruz, assistant superintendent of empowered learning. Critics argue that the current A-F accountability system, heavily reliant on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR), fails to provide a fair assessment, particularly for schools with high concentrations of low-income students. As the Texas Education Agency studies potential new measures, the debate continues over how best to represent school performance and ensure no student is left behind.

Research indicates that early childhood education significantly benefits students throughout their academic journeys; however, support for pre-kindergarten (pre-K) teachers remains limited. Elizabeth D. Steiner, a PK-12 education policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, stated: "Public school pre-K teachers are an understudied population." The RAND American Public School Pre-K Teacher Survey highlights the challenges faced by pre-K educators, including access to professional development and instructional materials. Despite a slight increase in average salaries, many teachers reported stagnant wages when adjusted for inflation. Notably, the percentage of pre-K teachers intending to leave their positions decreased from 18% in 2024 to 14% in 2025. The survey also revealed a need for enhanced professional learning opportunities, particularly in teaching math and supporting diverse learners.
