In response to the numerous executive orders and administrative actions issued under the new Trump administration, LACOE is committed to helping our education community understand the impact of these federal actions on schools, students and educational programs nationwide.
Educational institutions at all levels—from early childhood programs through K-12 and higher education—are working to interpret and respond to a significant volume of policy changes since January 2025. This page brings together essential resources in one centralized location, making it easier for educators and administrators to stay informed about developments that affect their work.
Our goal is to provide clear, factual information that helps education professionals navigate this changing policy landscape while continuing to serve their students and communities effectively.
