[Whitehouse.gov] Today, President Donald J. Trump welcomes students, parents, and education advocates to the White House to celebrate the start of a new school year. Under President Trump's and Secretary of Education Linda McMahon's leadership, this Administration has delivered an unparalleled record of expanding educational freedom, restoring parental rights, returning power to the states, and putting American students first.

Expanding School Choice

• President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts created the first-ever nationwide school choice program, delivering a federal Education Freedom Tax Credit of up to $1,700 for scholarships covering tuition, books, and other costs at private and public schools. 
• Nearly 52 million students nationwide are eligible, with 30+ states already opting in or signaling their intent to participate.
• The Trump Administration delivered the largest investment in charter schools in history—$500 million through the Charter Schools Program—to expand high-quality options nationwide.
• President Trump directed federal agencies to maximize school choice, enabling states to use Title I funds and other flexibilities to support parental decision-making.

Returning Education to the States

• President Trump directed the Secretary of Education to dismantle the bloated federal bureaucracy and return authority to states and local communities, empowering them to expand freedom and opportunity after decades of failed central control.
• The Trump Administration approved the nation's first Returning Education to the States waivers, freeing tens of millions of dollars from red tape and directing them straight to classrooms and students.
• The Trump Administration awarded a record number of grants to advance literacy, expand access to credentialed school psychologists, emphasize science-of-reading approaches, integrate AI in education, and demand real academic results over ideology.

Ending Radical Gender Ideology and Restoring Parental Rights

• President Trump signed an Executive Order barring biological boys from girls' sports and private spaces, prompting school systems and athletic associations nationwide to end the practice.
• The Trump Administration launched dozens of Title IX investigations into schools that allowed males in female sports and intimate facilities, enforcing biological reality and holding institutions accountable.
• The Trump Administration cracked down on schools that "transition" students behind parents' backs, rescinded unlawful Title IX guidance that punished districts for failing to use preferred pronouns, and reinforced parental rights under federal law—restoring fairness for female athletes, privacy for young women, and parents' fundamental authority.

Eliminating Waste, Fraud, and Divisive Indoctrination

• The Trump Administration terminated more than $2 billion in wasteful "diversity, equity, and inclusion" spending, shifting focus from dividing students by race and identity to uniting them around merit and excellence.
• The Trump Administration ended $67 million in grants that funded sexually explicit material for minors, rejecting inappropriate and inaccurate ideological curricula with no place in classrooms.
• By enforcing immigration laws, the Trump Administration reduced the strain of non-English-speaking students on American public schools, allowing resources to prioritize American citizens.

Supporting Every Child

• First Lady Melania Trump's Fostering the Future initiative expands support and educational opportunities for children leaving foster care through scholarships, university partnerships, savings accounts, and a global coalition—delivering pathways to independence, skills, and the American Dream.
• The Trump Administration launched a Title IX investigation into the Los Angeles Unified School District for allegedly protecting predator teachers accused of sexual misconduct.
• The Trump Administration strengthened protections for prayer in public schools, reinforcing every student's constitutional rights.

President Trump's agenda is clear and proven: educational freedom belongs to parents, excellence belongs in the classroom, and America's children deserve schools free from ideology, waste, and federal overreach. As students return to class this fall, they do so under an Administration that has delivered historic results in record time.
