They included expanding school vouchers, overhauling the trillion-dollar student-loan repayment system, and influencing how public schools function, including a plan to promote artificial intelligence usage. The changes follow periods of uncertainty as teachers and administrators were gearing up to reopen their doors."
"She said on a tour leading up to the start of the school year that she wants to give states more control over their schools. "I think every school system needs to work within its own community to decide what curriculum works best there," McMahon said earlier this month.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon is pursuing efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and to return control over curricula and school policy to states and local communities. Federal funding for K-12 and higher education remains uncertain under these priorities.
