Education Department warns schools of funding loss over sexual abuse reporting failures
The Department of Education is implementing new measures to address a nationwide scandal. Officials claim schools are failing to investigate reports of sexual misconduct. Secretary McMahon stated that the administration is taking decisive action to ensure schools are safe environments following recurring patterns of abuse. The administration claims that teachers' unions have enabled cover-ups of these incidents for decades.
Schools that fail to report sexual misconduct honestly or follow federal laws now risk losing their federal funding. ED officials emphasized that districts have a duty to protect students. They must be held accountable for their safety records. The department aims to end a period where predators in schools were not held accountable by administrators.
