The Trump administration has decided to withdraw its appeal against a federal court ruling that blocked its campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in schools and colleges. On Wednesday the U.S. Department of Education filed to dismiss its appeal, upholding a decision made by U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher in Maryland, who stated that the anti-DEI guidance violated the First Amendment and federal procedural rules. The guidance had warned educational institutions that they would lose federal funding if they continued DEI practices. The case had been brought by the American Federation of Teachers, the American Sociological Association and a school district in Eugene, Oregon.

Texas
Adrian Gonzales, the first officer to arrive at the 2022 Uvalde school shooting, has been acquitted of 28 counts of felony child endangerment by a Texas jury. Prosecutors alleged he failed to act quickly to stop the gunman who killed 19 children and two teachers. Gonzales’s defence argued he responded immediately but was misdirected, and lacked knowledge or access to the shooting location. The verdict follows emotional testimony and is the first trial among two criminal cases brought over the failed police response. A second officer, former Uvalde school district police chief Pete Arredondo, is expected to face trial later this year on similar charges as Gonzales. He has pleaded not guilty.

Florida
Florida is facing a significant teacher shortage, particularly in special education, math, and English, according to a recent report from the Florida Board of Education. In the 2024-2025 school year, nearly 21% of special education courses were taught by teachers lacking certification in that area. Board Chair Ryan Petty said the high-demand subjects come as "no surprises," urging more support for teachers dealing with student disciplinary issues. The state anticipates nearly 2,000 vacancies in special education by the 2026-2027 school year, with a total of about 6,500 vacancies across all subjects. The Florida Education Association expressed concern over the impact of these shortages on students, emphasizing the need for qualified educators. They said: "If even one student is left without a permanent, certified teacher, the problem isn't fixed."
