2025 has been a year of unprecedented instability for America’s public schools. In this episode of All4Ed Flash, we break down the growing uncertainty facing public education—from proposed cuts to the U.S. Department of Education and widespread federal layoffs, to efforts to dismantle or relocate key education functions across other federal agencies.
We explore how these shifts threaten federal oversight, equity protections, and critical student supports, while leaving educators, families, states, and school districts struggling to plan amid ongoing budget gridlock in Congress. As the year comes to a close with no final education budget in sight, the stakes for students and educators could not be higher.
Join us as we examine what’s at risk, why these policy decisions matter, and how All4Ed remains committed to advocating for a strong, inclusive public education system that serves all students—no matter their background or zip code. All4Ed Website: https://all4ed.org
