Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the Trump administration won’t penalize states that reject school choice, calling it a state issue. Her remarks follow Trump’s executive order to close the Department of Education and expand school choice efforts.

Despite members of the community rallying for Dr. Claude Tiller, Jr. to be reinstated as superintendent of the Green Bay Area Public School District, the Board of Education said the "window to have this conversation has closed" and the district is "moving forward" with the process of finding a new leader.

The Pasco County School Board added three four-day weekends to the 2024-25 student calendar. District leaders plan to encourage families to take trips and vacations during these 'mini-breaks' rather than miss instructional time.

Before an annual audit, the district thought it had a surplus, but the review of finances revealed the massive shortfall. The district collected approximately $135 million in revenue but had expenses of $152 million.
