AGP Executive Report
Last update: 40 minutes agoSchool Costs: High school sports participation fees, once a last resort, have become routine in many districts and can shut students out of activities. Meanwhile, schools report that homelessness is often hidden: families doubling up may go unidentified and miss support such as meals and transportation. Federal Policy: A new tax-credit program set to begin Jan. 1 could generate billions for scholarships, including aid for private-school tuition, tutoring and supplies; New York says it will join. A separate proposed federal rollback of Head Start standards is drawing opposition from 25 states and New Mexico officials, who warn it could threaten services for young children. College Access: The Department of Homeland Security’s proposed $70,000 fee for international students seeking work authorization raises a new barrier for graduates. Two colleges, Illinois College and Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, each received nearly $3 million in federal grants for student support and career-focused training.
