After the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, a bipartisan deal has finally reopened the federal government—at least through January 30, 2026. In this episode of the All4Ed Flash, Enrique Chaurand breaks down what's in the agreement, including backpay for furloughed workers, restored jobs, continued SNAP benefits, and an upcoming vote on extending Obamacare tax credits.But while the shutdown is over, its impact on the U.S. Department of Education has been severe. Critical offices responsible for civil rights enforcement, special education oversight, federal education data, and the management of K–12 and higher education programs have been hollowed out. Investigations are stalled, oversight has weakened, and states and districts may face disruptions in key federal funding streams that millions of students rely on.We explore what this means for students, families, educators, and the long-term health of the education system—and why recovery must now be a national priority.

As schools across the country reckon with the ending of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds, many, if not all, are trying to find ways to sustain the services these funds supported. For most schools, that means finding some sustainable method of funding mental and behavioral health services. Fortunately, an expanding and increasingly well-known pathway through school-based Medicaid exists. Outside of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), school-based Medicaid is the single largest source of sustainable funding for health services in schools.

Hola y bienvenido a All4Ed Flash, donde le traemos las últimas noticias sobre políticas educativas. Soy Enrique ChaurandLos republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes en el Comité de Asignaciones presentaron un importante proyecto de ley de gasto interno, que recortaría el gasto en educación en un 28% y, en su opinión, “controla la burocracia derrochadora y mejora la supervisión y la rendición de cuentas”.Aquí hay algunos de los detalles. Dentro de este recorte general del 28% al Departamento de Educación se encuentra un recorte del 80% al Título I, la corriente de financiación más grande del gobierno federal desde jardín de infantes hasta 12.º grado que apoya a estudiantes de familias de bajos ingresos. Esto sería catastrófico y recortaría la financiación a niveles vistos por última vez hace casi 40 años. Según el Comité Demócrata, esto supondría una reducción de 220.000 (dos cientos viente mil) maestros en todo el país.Si bien los fondos del Título I penden de un hilo en este proyecto de ley, la legislación propone eliminar varios programas, entre ellos:Desarrollo profesional docente, o Título II, que ahora recibe más de $2 mil millones;Adquisición del idioma inglés, o Título III, que atiende a 5 millones de estudiantes de inglés; yTrabajo y estudio federal, que apoya a 660.000 estudiantes universitarios.Otros programas domésticos fuera del Departamento de Educación también serían eliminados o sufrirían recortes importantes. Por ejemplo, se eliminarían los programas de capacitación laboral para jóvenes financiados a través del Departamento de Trabajo. Head Start se reduciría en $750 millones, recortando el apoyo a 50.000 niños. AmeriCorps, que inscribe a más de 200.000 personas anualmente en servicio, se reduciría a la mitad.En total, el proyecto de ley republicano elimina 61 programas en nombre de “restaurar la responsabilidad fiscal” e incluye varios requisitos y prohibiciones políticas para obstaculizar la agenda del presidente Biden. Esto incluye una prohibición de implementar las Órdenes Ejecutivas del Presidente sobre diversidad, equidad, inclusión y accesibilidad y promover la equidad racial y el apoyo a las comunidades desatendidas.Rosa DeLauro, la principal demócrata en el Comité de Asignaciones respondió: “Estamos siendo testigos de un ataque generalizado a la educación pública que debería horrorizarnos a todos”.Si bien el proyecto de ley aún tiene que ser examinado pronto por el pleno de la Cámara de Representantes, el Senado aún no ha publicado su propia propuesta. Con esa cámara controlada por los demócratas, es probable que su proyecto de ley sea bastante diferente. En última instancia, los líderes del Congreso tendrán que llegar a un acuerdo con la Casa Blanca para mantener abierto y operativo el gobierno federal, un proceso que probablemente consumirá el resto del año.Gracias por escuchar All4Ed Flash.
