National
A new Gallup and Walton Family Foundation study found that most public school teachers receive little or no formal guidance on how to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom, despite it becoming increasingly embedded in education. The survey of more than 2,000 K-12 public school teachers found that 82% receive no formal advice on using AI at school. Nearly 69% said they receive no guidance on using AI for tutoring or one-on-one instruction, 58% lack guidance on AI-assisted grading and feedback, and 47% are not advised on using AI to create assignments or classroom materials. Teachers at lower-income schools were less likely to receive AI guidance than those at wealthier schools, highlighting disparities in support and resources. Researchers also found that schools with formal AI policies were more likely to see both teachers and students actively using the technology. Beyond AI, the report identified broader concerns around unrealistic and unclear job expectations. More than half of teachers said expectations for excellent teaching at their schools were unrealistic to some degree, while teachers reporting unclear expectations were significantly more likely to experience burnout and job dissatisfaction. Gallup researcher Andrea Malek Ash said teachers are increasingly expected to do “one-and-a-half jobs,” making clear communication from school leadership critical. The study found that teachers who viewed expectations as realistic were more likely to remain engaged at work and continue teaching the following year.

California
California education associations and labor groups are urging state lawmakers to reject Governor Gavin Newsom’s proposal to temporarily withhold $3.9bn in voter-protected school funding, warning the move would worsen teacher shortages, deepen district budget deficits, and threaten education quality across the state. The revised 2026-27 budget proposal would defer funding required under Proposition 98, the 1988 measure that guarantees roughly 40% of California’s general fund for K-12 schools and community colleges. Education groups said the plan would reduce statewide funding by around $643 per student, as districts already face layoffs, school closures, and multimillion-dollar deficits. Members of the Education Coalition, including teachers, school boards, administrators, parent groups, and employee unions, gathered at the state Capitol to oppose what they described as the “unacceptable stripping” of school funding. Education leaders said continued withholding of funds would increase financial instability for districts already dealing with rising costs, staffing shortages, and the expiration of pandemic-era funding. “Every dollar withheld has a consequence for our students,” said Tatia Davenport, chief executive of the California Association of School Business Officials. The Legislature has until mid-June to finalize the state budget.

Texas
Michelle Williams, president of the Houston Education Association, has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Houston ISD's state-appointed board and superintendent, claiming "institutional retaliation" after her termination. The lawsuit, citing violations of the First and Fourteenth Amendments and the Texas Whistleblower Act, seeks her reinstatement, back pay, and damages. Williams, a 26-year teaching veteran and state representative candidate, has also requested the state's education commissioner to overturn the board's decision to terminate her. The board disregarded an independent hearing examiner's recommendation for her reinstatement, opting instead for the administration's revisions that contradicted the examiner's findings. This situation continues to develop.

Florida
The GOP's proposal to eliminate property taxes in Florida poses a significant threat to essential funding for 11 voter-approved children's services councils and trusts, which provide critical support to families. Cindy Arenberg Seltzer, president and chief executive of Children's Services Council of Broward County, warned that the loss of funding could "actually put a lot of these nonprofit organizations out of business." With a projected budget of $172m, these organizations rely heavily on property taxes to operate. Sheryl Woods, CEO of YMCA South Florida, expressed concern, stating: "I think it would be catastrophic for the children." The proposal has sparked debate, with U.S. Sen. Rick Scott emphasizing the need for reforms that do not harm communities. As the state legislature considers these changes, the future of children's services remains uncertain.
