U.S. Department of Education Details Title IX Enforcement and Decentralization Initiative

The U.S. Department of Education concluded its "Title IX Month" by providing a recap of recent enforcement actions, including the launch of nine new investigations into school districts and state education bodies across North Carolina, Michigan, and Maryland concerning gender policies and sports participation. Concurrently, the administration is advancing a structural initiative to "Return Education to the States," partnering with the Department of Labor to transfer the administration of adult education, family literacy, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs to state labor infrastructure. The Department also highlighted a record $500 million investment in the Charter Schools Program.
