    New Day, New Thinking.

    New Day, New Thinking.
    Congress leaves Build Back Better on the backburner as they prepare for a Supreme Court nomination, but looming deadlines may force them to move on FY2022 appropriations or face a government shutdown. House Democrats also unveiled the America Competes Bill, which includes provisions to expand STEM pathways, the Supreme Court takes up an affirmative action case that could reshape race-conscious admissions policies, and the U.S. Department of Education considers public comments on its efforts to advance educational equity through key data collections and accountability measures. Meanwhile, Secretary Cardona shared his vision for education in a major speech, outlining the Biden administration’s priorities moving forward.

    Build Back Bah Humbug: Manchin Puts Social Spending Bill on Ice

    Build Back Bah Humbug: Manchin Puts Social Spending Bill on Ice
    Congress ends the year on a low note, as Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) strikes a major blow to the Build Back Better Act. Is this the end of the line for the social spending and climate change bill, including its investments to close the digital divide and expand access to child care and preschool? Plus, the Biden administration reconsiders its plans to end the moratorium on student loan repayments in early 2022 and issues new guidance to support states as they resume—and hopefully, improve—their accountability and school improvement efforts next fall. Finally, families and educators are more dedicated than ever to supporting student learning, and a new round of federal grants to support parent and family engagement could help.

    Congress Punts Budget Decisions to 2022

    Congress Punts Budget Decisions to 2022
    Congress finds solutions to keep the government open and raise the debt ceiling, making room for further debate on the Build Back Better Act and delaying any increase in federal education funding until mid-February, at the earliest. Plus, Jessica Rosenworcel is confirmed as the first woman to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and pressure mounts on the Biden administration to further delay the restart of student loan payments, which have been on pause since the start of the pandemic. Finally, the nation grapples with yet another horrific school shooting and how to keep students safe.

    Is Free Community College on the Chopping Block?

    Is Free Community College on the Chopping Block?
    Congress remains at a standstill over budget reconciliation, infrastructure, and raising the debt limit—with President Biden’s free community college proposal hanging in the balance. Senate leaders also put forward a budget proposal with key education investments, including doubling the Title I program, even though the bill faces an uncertain future. Meanwhile, the Department of Education welcomes new senior officials as it continues to address student loan debt and grapple with new, disappointing results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

    Congress on the edge: Narrowly avoiding a government shutdown but a fiscal cliff approaches
    Congress avoids a government shutdown by passing a nine-week continuing resolution through December 3rd , while it continues to negotiate a bipartisan infrastructure package alongside the Biden administration’s Build Back Better Act— and simultaneously avoid a default on the nation’s debt. In the meantime, the administration takes a critical first step to rewrite the rules for relieving student loan burdens for many, especially teachers. Plus, the latest on how leaders across the country—with support from the federal government—are taking stronger stances on vaccine and mask requirements for students.
