#DSCWoA2025

Massive Education Department layoffs decimated offices protecting students with disabilities, civil rights, and funding oversight. Even though IEPs remain legally enforceable, the collapse of accountability tools makes violations far more likely.

Federal & state institutions are stripping away essential supports for students—defunding after‑school programs, counselling, mental health services, and more. 📉 This isn’t just policy—it’s a crisis. Read our latest report here: dignityinschools.org/federal-and-...

Hundreds of groups push back on Trump denying lawful immigrants access to Head Start, other programs They oppose the administration’s decision to make more federally funded programs off limits to legally present immigrants and say it will be 'devastating' to U.S. citizen children.

This fight is only possible because of you—and it's far from over.

Schools are using AI to protect students. It also leads to false alarms — and arrests Surveillance systems in American schools increasingly monitor everything students write on school accounts and devices

Schools in US are using AI to scan student messages for threats—but the tech often flags jokes, homework, or deleted posts. Some kids are being arrested or hospitalized over false alarms.
