Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced a new surgeon general’s advisory warning about the harms of excessive screen time for children while visiting Iowa for the signing of the state’s “Make America Healthy Again” legislation. The advisory encourages schools and families to limit cellphone and screen use among children, citing concerns about mental health, physical health, academic performance, and social development. Kennedy praised Iowa’s existing cellphone restrictions in schools and called for similar policies nationwide. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds also signed a broad health-focused law that limits digital instruction for K-5 students to one hour per day, bans certain food dyes and additives in school meals, expands physical activity requirements, and seeks tighter restrictions on SNAP purchases of unhealthy foods. The law additionally requires more nutrition training for medical students and allows pharmacists to distribute ivermectin over the counter. Kennedy described Iowa’s actions as an example of “bold public health leadership” focused on prevention, nutrition, and healthier lifestyles.

The Sacramento County Board of Education voted 4-3 to overturn the Twin Rivers USD's decision to revoke the charters of Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools. This decision followed a state audit revealing that the schools improperly received over $180m in taxpayer funds. Twin Rivers officials claimed the schools failed to correct violations by the September 2025 deadline. The California State Auditor highlighted poor fiscal oversight, including nearly $2m spent on gifts and trips, and issues with teacher credentialing. Twin Rivers United Educators expressed disappointment over the reversal, stating, “We remain committed to fighting for Highlands students, educators, and our greater community.” Despite improvements claimed by Highlands officials, Twin Rivers maintained that material violations persisted. California Teachers Association President David Goldberg emphasized the need to uphold the revocation due to unresolved issues.

Education Week examines how Texas’ new Education Freedom Accounts program exposed a conflict within the private school choice movement over religious access to public funds. Texas initially excluded Islamic schools after officials objected to their accreditor’s ties to CAIR, then reversed course while lawsuits continued. Florida has passed a related measure barring private schools from affiliating with state-designated terrorist groups. Matthew Ladner, senior adviser for K-12 policy implementation at the Heritage Foundation, said: “It is absolutely a bedrock value of the school choice movement to embrace a pluralistic system of schools and tolerance.” Advocates warned that lightly regulated choice programs give states limited control over participating schools, while critics and scholars linked current debates to older disputes over public funding for religious education.

The School District of Lee County is grappling with a projected $92.4m operating deficit, prompting significant teacher cuts amid declining enrollment. The district reported a total of 457 non-renewals for budgetary reasons, despite a low attrition rate of 407 teachers. Superintendent Denise Carlin emphasized that the cuts are part of a broader strategy to align staffing with actual student numbers, stating, "The School District is navigating what many school systems across the country are facing: declining enrollment." Parents and teachers have expressed deep concern over the impact of these cuts on educational quality. Parent India Palencia criticized the district's priorities, saying, "You cannot claim students come first when classrooms are the ones absorbing your instability." The district plans to continue reviewing its budget and operations to identify further efficiencies, with a final budget for the 2026-27 school year expected in September.
