It's challenging to keep track of all the hard-hitting federal policy changes and disruptions since January, many of which have come from the White House. We have seen significant impacts, twists, and turns in the areas of DEI, immigration enforcement, USDOE cuts, religion in schools lawsuits, and "Dear Colleague" letters. Grants have been canceled, students and families detained, and programs shuttered — what's next? This session will take a street-level, practical view of the changes affecting charter operators on the ground right now, discuss what might be next, and explore what you can do to protect your school and weather the storm.
