After a K-12-heavy docket last term, the U.S. Supreme Court is once again gearing up for a new session beginning Oct. 6.
In recent years, the high court has drastically shifted the education landscape through landmark decisions related to issues like affirmative action and prayer in schools. It’s also weighed in on important K-12 issues applying to daily school operations like parental opt-outs and student discrimination disability claims.
With a Title IX case on its docket for this term, Supreme Court justices once again have an opportunity to make a dent on student civil rights issues — and on one that has taken center stage under President Donald Trump’s U.S. Department of Education.
