National
Education organizations, led by the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Preparation (AACTE), are advocating for a significant congressional investment to revamp teacher-preparation pipelines. A new report calls for $2.5bn in new or expanded teacher workforce development grants and scholarships, alongside the establishment of a national educator workforce data system. The report emphasizes the urgent need for support, commenting: "Teachers and school staff are now on the frontlines of addressing trauma, anxiety, and learning loss, often without the preparation, staffing, or resources to meet the magnitude of these needs." The AACTE also proposes transforming the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grants into a nationwide teacher-residency scholarship program. Despite potential political challenges, there is a growing interest in Congress to support these initiatives, particularly in light of recent hearings on teaching. AACTE representatives stress the necessity for a national educator workforce strategy to adapt to evolving educational demands.

California
The Los Angeles USD (LAUSD) board has delayed a decision on Superintendent Alberto Carvalho’s employment after meeting in closed session for four hours, following FBI raids on his home and the district’s headquarters. The board recessed without action and will reconvene Friday to continue discussions. The federal investigation reportedly centers on financial matters related to Carvalho personally, not the district. The raids have been linked in media reports to AllHere Education, an AI company contracted by LAUSD for $6.2m to develop a student chatbot. The company later collapsed amid fraud charges against its founder. Carvalho previously worked with the firm during his tenure in Miami-Dade County. Carvalho has not publicly commented. Teachers’ union UTLA and parent advocacy groups are calling for transparency, with some urging the board to place Carvalho on administrative leave. The leadership uncertainty comes at a challenging time for LAUSD, which faces budget pressures, labor tensions, and ongoing controversies. The board’s next steps remain unclear.

Texas
A Bible-infused curriculum approved for Texas public schools in 2024 is set for corrections after teachers and education officials identified hundreds of errors. The "Bluebonnet" textbook, part of a Republican initiative to integrate religious teachings, faced criticism for favoring Christianity and prioritizing preaching over education. The State Board of Education voted 8-6 to amend the curriculum, addressing factual inaccuracies, punctuation issues, and copyright concerns. Board member Tiffany Clark expressed concern over the impact of these errors on students, claiming; "If we have been teaching incorrectly this is going to have an impact." Although the Texas Education Agency reported around 1,900 changes were made, it remains unclear how many districts adopted the curriculum this year. The agency plans to update online materials within 30 days, but the timeline for physical replacements is uncertain.
