Summary: The Administration announced a nationwide school choice program featuring an Education Freedom Tax Credit up to $1,700, expanded charter school funding, and a shift of education control to states and local communities. Key policies include barring biological boys from girls’ sports, launching Title IX investigations, and ending over $2 billion in DEI spending.
