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. All4Ed Website: https://all4ed.org
