The most significant news this week from the U.S. Department of Education is its bold guidance on the use of artificial intelligence in schools, alongside steps to unlock billions in long-awaited federal funding for districts. On July 22, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon unveiled a new directive encouraging schools to use federal grant dollars to responsibly integrate AI into classrooms, not only to improve educational outcomes but also to cut administrative red tape and personalize learning. According to Secretary McMahon, “Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize education and support improved outcomes for learners... By teaching about AI and foundational computer science while integrating AI technology responsibly, we can strengthen our schools and lay the foundation for a stronger, more competitive economy.” The Department is actively seeking public feedback on these priorities; citizens can submit comments at Regulations.gov until August 20.
In a move closely watched by school leaders nationwide, the Department announced it will finally release billions of dollars in grant money that had been frozen since July 1 as the Trump administration reviewed programs for alignment with White House priorities. This reversal came amid pressure from lawsuits and bipartisan calls in Congress. California alone was waiting on nearly $1 billion, with Los Angeles Unified facing a $120 million budget gap and programs like adult literacy, English language instruction, and after-school support threatened by the freeze. National organizations like the YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs warned that closures or cutbacks were imminent without these funds, which impact millions of students and working families. U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito emphasized the bipartisan nature of these essential programs, linking them to workforce readiness and broader economic growth.
Beyond funding, the Department is rolling out two broad regulatory initiatives: The Reimagining and Improving Student Education (RISE) Committee will focus on major changes to federal student loans, while the Accountability in Higher Education and Access through Demand-driven Workforce Pell (AHEAD) Committee aims to oversee new workforce pathways and ensure colleges deliver strong post-graduation results. Each will hold sessions in the coming months involving representatives from education, business, and the public.
These moves have major implications. For American citizens—especially students and parents—they promise both fresh educational tools and the restoration of essential services. Businesses and organizations will see new opportunities in the EdTech sector, especially those providing AI-powered solutions, while school districts anticipate funding stability heading into the new academic year. State and local governments now have clarity to plan budgets and programs. Internationally, the U.S. is signaling its desire to lead in emerging educational technologies.
Listeners can voice opinions on the AI priorities by commenting online, and educators should expect grant opportunities and workshop invitations in the coming weeks.
