Education Slice
National
President Donald Trump's tax-and-spending legislation was passed by the Senate on Tuesday, with a 50-50 deadlock in the vote decided with a tiebreaking vote from Vice President JD Vance. The package includes the nation’s first federal tax credit scholarship program, which grants donors to scholarship organizations a $1,700 tax credit for the same amount they contribute. Those nonprofits then award funds to families for private school tuition and other educational expenses. The Senate version of the bill differs from that passed by the House in late May by giving states a say over which groups can participate and strikes language that would have prohibited any control over private schools. The legislation includes other child-related provisions, including the extension of an existing $2,000 child tax credit. The House version boosts it to $2,500, while the Senate version increases the credit to $2,200. “Trump accounts,” a new feature, would provide a $1,000 investment fund for children that they could later use for education or a house. The House is expected to vote on the bill later today, sending it to the Oval Office for Trump's signature before July 4.

California
California educators are urging the Trump administration to release $6.8bn in withheld education grants, which they deem illegal and harmful to students. The California Department of Education was informed of the funding freeze just before the typical release date. This decision threatens to cut $811m from essential services, including English language learning and teacher training. California Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond stated: “We will pursue every legal avenue available to us to have these funds restored.” The frozen funds, already approved by Congress, are crucial for supporting vulnerable students, particularly those learning English. David Schapira, Chief of Staff at the state education department, emphasized that withholding these funds targets students and undermines the intent of taxpayer contributions.
