NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

With the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, educators, policymakers and other stakeholders are closely watching what the new administration will mean for schools.

Following his inauguration Monday, Trump signed a flurry of executive orders, including a rescission of Biden-era protections for LGBTQ+ students. Ahead of the yet-to-be-scheduled hearings to confirm former World Wrestling Entertainment President and CEO Linda McMahon as education secretary, Trump also named Denise Carter — the Education Department’s top federal student aid officer — as acting secretary and former Tennessee education commissioner Penny Schwinn as deputy secretary.

We’ll be keeping an eye on these updates and more in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we’ve compiled a roundup of existing coverage on what to expect under the new administration.
