    One in five school districts cancelled school last year because of the building, not the weather. Two million students lost an estimated 3.5 million days.

    GAO's nationwide survey of public school districts, released September 14, estimates that 19 percent of districts cancelled school during 2024-25 because of a facilities problem — most often a plumbing emergency or classroom temperatures nobody could teach in. One district GAO visited closed after classrooms reached 110 degrees. The cancellations affected an estimated 2 million students and cost an estimated 3.5 million days of learning. Nearly half of districts (47 percent) reported chronic facility problems, 55 percent called their most recent facilities budget insufficient, and 73 percent said limited state formula funding for facilities held them back. GAO publishes the confidence interval on every one of those figures, which is more than most numbers you will read this week can say.

    A judge gave the Education Department until September 11 to explain its new college admissions data collection. The explanation is published — including a 200-hour-per-school burden estimate.

    In Massachusetts v. U.S. Department of Education, the federal court in Massachusetts granted the Department's motion to remand its Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement — a new component of the federal college data system, IPEDS — without vacating it, and ordered any supplemental explanation filed no later than September 11, 2026. The Department's revised explanation was published in the Federal Register on September 14. It defends collecting admissions data broken out by race-sex pair and by admissions test score quintile as central to the collection's purpose, and it estimates the work for each institution at 200 hours, against 6 to 9 hours for most other components of the same system. Whether the court accepts the explanation is not yet known.
