The Trump administration wants to slash federal regulations for Head Start, an anti-poverty program that has long been considered a gold standard in early childhood education. Advocates say it could drastically impact about 18,000 children served by the program in Mississippi, while researchers say that Mississippi’s state-funded, high-quality early education programs protect some Head Start centers from the changes.

Sign up for Chalkbeat Indiana’s free daily newsletter to keep up with Indianapolis Public Schools, Marion County’s township districts, and statewide education news.This article was co-published by Chalkbeat Indiana and WFYI as part of a collaboration ahead of the 2026 school board elections. The majority of seats on the Indianapolis Public Schools Board of School Commissioners are on the November ballot in the first election since the creation of a new board appointed by the mayor to manage key aspects of city schools. The election is the first for partisan school board candidates, which led to one IPS candidate being removed from the ballot.Fifteen candidates – including one write-in – are vying for five seats on the seven-member school board. All five incumbents are seeking re-election.While three seats - districts 3 and 5 and one At-Large - were regularly scheduled to be on the ballot this year, two more are also there due to resignations earlier this year. The District 2 and District 4 seats were filled with appointed members until the election.IPS school board members oversee district policies, goal setting, and some financial decisions. They also hire and oversee the superintendent. The new Indianapolis Public Education Corporation or IPEC took over key responsibilities for IPS and charter schools in the city from school boards including managing school buildings and transportation and the ability to put a tax measure on the ballot. The outcome of the November tax measure, or referendum, will also determine potential budget cuts. Officials have estimated that the district will need to make around $20 million in cuts even if the tax measure passes. Also new this year is the option for school board candidates to be partisan. A vast majority of IPS school board candidates are running as Democrats, a stark contrast to the rest of central Indiana and the state. What to know before you vote for IPS school boardVoters living anywhere within IPS boundaries can vote for the one at-large seat on the ballot. For the four district seats, voters must live in that district to vote in the race. Three of the districts on the ballot represent the northern half of the IPS district boundaries: District 5 to the west, District 3 in the central portion, and District 2 in the east. And District 4 represents the southwestern part of the school district.The most crowded races are four candidates each in District 3 and for the at-large seat. There are three candidates in District 5 and two in District 2. District 4 has one candidate on the ballot and one write-in candidate, who is challenging her ballot removal in court and filed to be a write-in candidate. (Write-in candidates are not listed on the ballot, and only those who filed will have their votes counted and certified.)Chalkbeat and WFYI sent survey questions to each of the candidates to help voters learn more ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

(The Center Square) – Thursday marks one year since the assassination of Christian and conservative leader Charlie Kirk, who will be honored during a Turning Point USA service in the evening. "The Freedom Built to Last Memorial Honoring Charlie Kirk" program will start at 6:30 p.m. Thursday Mountain time at the UCCU Center at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. Speakers include Glenn Beck, host of "The Glenn Beck Show," founder of Blaze Media & Torch and bestselling author; Frank Turek, speaker, author and president of Cross Examined Ministries; Andrew Sypher, TPUSA chief field officer, and Caleb Chillicut, Utah representative to TPUSA's College Department. The service will live-stream at YouTube, X, Facebook and Rumble. It was just after noon in Orem, Utah on Sept. 10, 2025, when Kirk was shot and killed during a Turning Point USA event. Kirk, the founder and president of TPUSA, was doing a Q&A in front of nearly 3,000 people at Utah Valley University at the time of the shooting. Question-and-answer sessions were common for Kirk and his many campus appearances for TPUSA events. President Donald Trump announced Kirk’s death on social media approximately two hours after the shooting. “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us.” Kirk was 31. He left behind his wife, Erika, and two children. On Sept. 12, 2025, Erika Kirk delivered a public address from TPUSA headquarters in Phoenix, where she pledged to continue his work. “The movement my husband built will not die. It will become stronger, bolder, louder, and greater than ever.” It was also on Sept. 12, 2025, that authorities identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect in the assassination. Authorities said Robinson turned himself in at the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, where he was booked on charges including aggravated murder and weapons offenses. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said that evidence included shell casings that had political messages. The Republican governor added that family members claimed Robinson “had become more political in recent years” and “was full of hate and spreading hate.” Since Charlie Kirk’s death, interest in TPUSA chapters has risen dramatically, and not just in colleges, but for high school students in public, private, and homeschool settings. TPUSA noted many people also started attending church services and/or reading the Bible. TPUSA supporters talked about this on Sept. 21, 2025, during a memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Thousands of people showed up to pay their respects at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, near Phoenix. Christian music was performed live between speeches. Videos of Kirk speaking to people at TPUSA events also appeared on monitors. Erika Kirk said people have responded to his death the way that her late husband would have wanted. “After Charlie's assassination, we didn't see violence, we didn't see rioting, we didn't see revolution. Instead we saw revival, with some people opening a Bible for the first time in a decade,” said Erika Kirk, who had just been named CEO and chair of TPUSA before the memorial service. “We saw people pray for the first time since they were children. We saw people go to a church service for the first time in their entire lives.” Erika Kirk also spoke about Robinson. “That man, that young man - I forgive him,” she said. Trump told the large audience at the service that Charlie Kirk was a great man who played a big role in helping get the president back into office. “He was violently killed because he spoke for freedom and justice, for God and country, for reason and common sense,” Trump said. “He was assassinated because he lived bravely, he lived boldly, and he argued brilliantly without apology. He did what was right for our nation.” Trump later announced that he would posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “It’s the highest civilian honor,” said Trump, who delivered on his promise on Oct. 14, 2025, which would have been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday. In addition to the president, the medal ceremony was attended by Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance, several cabinet members and congressional members, as well as a who’s who of conservative journalists and influencers. Utah Valley University reopened campus for classes on Sept. 16, 2025. Following months of court proceedings, Utah Fourth District Judge Tony Graf ruled on Sept. 2, 2026, that the prosecution’s evidence was sufficient for Robinson to be tried on seven counts, six of which are felonies. They include aggravated murder and multiple counts of witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, the county’s top prosecutor, has said he will seek the death penalty if Robinson, now 23, is convicted of murder. After Graf's ruling, defense attorney Kathryn "Kathy" Nester entered a plea of "not guilty" to all of the charges on Robinson's behalf. During the hearing, Erica Kirk and Charlie's parents, Robert and Kathryn Kirk, sat in the Provo, Utah, courtroom, where Graf ruled that a hearing would take place Oct. 23 to determine the trial date. A lawyer representing Erika Kirk asked the judge to be certain to determine the trial date at the proceeding, noting justice shouldn't be delayed for Charlie Kirk's family.
