A New Hampshire federal judge has formally dismissed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s directive targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in public schools, after both sides agreed the case was no longer necessary. The lawsuit stemmed from a February 2025 “Dear Colleague Letter” issued by the U.S. Department of Education, which warned school districts that DEI-related policies or contracts could violate federal civil rights laws and risk the loss of federal funding. The letter prompted concern among school officials nationwide and led New Hampshire districts to review contracts for potential violations. The National Education Association and the American Civil Liberties Union, along with several New Hampshire school districts, sued the administration, arguing the directive was unconstitutional. The plaintiffs secured early court victories, including a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement in New Hampshire. Similar rulings in other jurisdictions further weakened the policy. In early February, the Department of Education agreed it would no longer rely on or enforce the challenged actions, leading Judge Landya McCafferty on Wednesday to dismiss the case as moot. Plaintiffs welcomed the decision, saying it protects educators’ ability to teach subjects involving race, gender, and inclusion without fear of federal penalties.

Texas
The Texas Education Agency is taking over two Fort Worth-area school districts due to poor accountability ratings, primarily based on STAAR test results. Raise Your Hand Texas, an advocacy group, is conducting workshops to highlight the limitations of the current A-F rating system. During a recent workshop, Chris Robey, regional advocacy director, emphasized: "We can't help where we are from and where we are born." The group aims to encourage a broader evaluation of student success beyond standardized tests, advocating for a more holistic approach that includes fine arts and extracurricular activities. With the STAAR testing system set to be replaced in 2027-28, concerns remain about the reliance on standardized assessments. Raise Your Hand Texas estimates that 45 districts could face state takeovers if accountability ratings do not improve. Anne Lasseigne Tiedt, senior director of strategic communications, said: "The success of our schools is more complex than standardized testing."

Florida
Florida lawmakers have advanced a comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) package, incorporating new regulations for AI usage in schools. The legislation, part of Gov. Ron DeSantis' agenda, aims to establish rights for residents interacting with AI systems, including mandatory disclosures when communicating with machines. The bill also allows parents to opt their children out of AI instructional tools in K-12 classrooms. "What we're doing is really just exercising our core constitutional responsibilities to make sure that people in Florida are treated well," DeSantis said. The proposed regulations also require schools to notify parents about AI tools used in classrooms and provide alternatives for students who opt out. While the Senate supports the bill, some House leaders express concerns about its broad definitions and compliance burdens. Sen. Tom Leek emphasized the need for regulations that do not hinder AI's educational benefits, saying: "If your plan is to wait for Congress, God help you."
