Education Week Highlights Major K-12 Policy Implications of Election Day 2026

Education Week has outlined four key K-12 questions for Election Day 2026, with voters making decisions that will significantly impact national school policy. These include ballot measures on restricting transgender students' participation in athletics, tax and funding questions affecting K-12 funding sources, and the future of private school choice programs.
