美国教育部批准俄克拉荷马与内布拉斯加两州教育豁免：十州可统筹联邦教育资金逾1.64亿美元
美国教育部11月13日宣布，批准俄克拉荷马州与内布拉斯加州的「教育回归各州」（Returning Education to the States，RES）豁免，两州可更自由地合并使用联邦教育资金、支持本州教育策略。两州成为第九与第十个获此豁免的州，此前获批的包括爱荷华州、路易斯安那州、印第安纳州、佛蒙特州、阿肯色州、南达科他州、密西西比州与俄亥俄州。
按计划，到2029年，俄克拉荷马州将整合超过350万美元联邦资金，内布拉斯加州近300万美元；十个获豁免州合计可统筹的联邦教育资金超过1.64亿美元。内布拉斯加州同时获批 Ed-Flex 权限，全美使用该灵活机制的州达到创纪录的28个，州政府可直接为学区与学校豁免某些联邦要求，无须事先逐项报教育部审查批准。
教育部同日宣布，批准佐治亚州的劳动力佩尔助学金（Workforce Pell）计划。
在家长权利方面，教育部宣布对新墨西哥州 Albuquerque 与 Santa Fe 学区、宾夕法尼亚州 Pennsbury 学区展开调查，涉及学区被指隐瞒学生的「性别转换」不告知家长；学生隐私政策办公室将调查相关学校是否违反《家庭教育权利与隐私法》与《学生权利保护修正案》。教育部并与司法部联合对宾州 Pine-Richland 学区采取执法行动。
此外，教育部民权办公室对华盛顿州 Camas 学区启动《教育修正案第九条》（Title IX）调查，涉及该学区被指允许男学生参加女子体育队、与女学生共用旅店房间与私密设施，且对女学生遭性骚扰的可信报告未作回应。
U.S. Department of Education Approves Education Waivers for Oklahoma and Nebraska, 10th State Added
The U.S. Department of Education announced on November 13 that it has approved Returning Education to the States (RES) waivers for Oklahoma and Nebraska, giving the states greater freedom to combine federal funding streams in support of their education strategies. Oklahoma and Nebraska are the ninth and tenth states to receive RES waivers, joining Iowa, Louisiana, Indiana, Vermont, Arkansas, South Dakota, Mississippi, and Ohio.
Through 2029, Oklahoma plans to consolidate over $3.5 million and Nebraska nearly $3 million in federal funding. Across all 10 states with RES waivers, more than $164 million is now available for more coordinated, state-led strategies. Nebraska also received approval for Ed-Flex authority, marking a record 28 states now using this additional flexibility, under which states can waive certain federal requirements for districts and schools without first submitting those waivers to the Department.
The Department also announced approval of Georgia's Workforce Pell program.
On parental rights, the Department opened investigations into Albuquerque Public Schools and Santa Fe Public Schools in New Mexico and the Pennsbury School District in Pennsylvania over policies and alleged incidents involving schools hiding students' so-called gender transitions from parents. The Student Privacy Policy Office will investigate possible violations of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment. The Department is also partnering with the Department of Justice on enforcement action against the Pine-Richland School District in Pennsylvania.
Separately, the Office for Civil Rights opened a directed Title IX investigation into the Camas School District in Washington state, based on information that the district allows male students to participate on female sports teams and share hotel rooms and intimate facilities with female students, and failed to respond to credible reports that female students were sexually harassed.
