Trump Administration to Abandon Protections for English Learners and Minority Students

The Trump administration is set to withdraw several guidance documents and civil rights enforcement approaches designed to enhance educational accessibility for English learners, Black, and other marginalized students. This change, scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on October 23, 2026, follows the Supreme Court's 2024 decision overturning the Chevron doctrine and will impact how federal resources and protections are applied in K-12 education.
