This project tracks ongoing legal challenges to the Trump administration’s executive actions related to K-12 education. This includes legal challenges to executive orders and non-binding guidance documents that threaten to withhold federal funding from K-12 schools and other education institutions for actions that do not align with Trump administration priorities, as well as efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (ED).

The data tool includes information on all lawsuits challenging the executive actions listed in Table 1. The data tool, which will be updated monthly, includes a summary of each lawsuit and subsequent litigation to date, and the status of each case. (All legal terminology is defined below.)
