UPenn to ban transgender athletes, feds say, ending civil rights case focused on swimmer Lia Thomas
WASHINGTON (AP) — The University of Pennsylvania has agreed to ban transgender women from its women's sports teams to resolve a federal civil rights case that found the school violated the rights of female athletes. The U.S. Education Department announced the voluntary agreement Tuesday. The case focused on Lia Thomas, the transgender swimmer who last competed for the Ivy League school in Philadelphia in 2022, when she became the first openly transgender athlete to win a Division I title. It's part of the Trump administration's broader attempt to remove transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports. Under the agreement, Penn agreed to restore all individual Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes who lost out to Thomas, the Education Department said. Penn also agreed to send a personalized apology letter to each of those swimmers. It wasn't immediately clear whether Thomas would be stripped of her awards and honors at Penn. The university must also announce that it 'will not allow males to compete in female athletic programs' and it must adopt 'biology-based' definitions of male and female, the department said. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called it a victory for women and girls. 'The Department commends UPenn for rectifying its past harms against women and girls, and we will continue to fight relentlessly to restore Title IX's proper application and enforce it to the fullest extent of the law,' McMahon said in a statement. The Education Department opened its investigation in February and concluded in April that Penn had violated Title IX, a 1972 law forbidding sex discrimination in education. Such findings have almost always been resolved through voluntary agreements. If Penn had fought the finding, the department could have moved to refer the case to the Justice Department or pursued a separate process to cut the school's federal funding. In February, the Education Department asked the NCAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations, or NFSHSA, to restore titles, awards and records it says have been 'misappropriated by biological males competing in female categories.' The most obvious target at the college level was in women's swimming, where Thomas won the national title in the 500-yard freestyle in 2022. The NCAA has updated its record books when recruiting and other violations have stripped titles from certain schools, but the organization, like the NFSHSA, has not responded to the federal government's request. Determining which events had a transgender athlete participating years later would be challenging. ___ The Associated Press' education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Billions in grants for summer school, English instruction delayed during Trump administration review
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is withholding more than $6 billion in federal grants for afterschool and summer programs, English language instruction, adult literacy and more as part of a review to ensure grants align with President Donald Trump's priorities. The move leaves states and schools in limbo as they budget for programs this summer and in the upcoming school year, introducing new uncertainty about when — or if — they will receive the money. It also sets the stage for a clash with Democrats, who say the administration is flouting the law by holding back money Congress appropriated. Without the money, schools say they won't be able to provide free or affordable afterschool care for low-income kids while their parents work, and they may not be able to hire staff to teach children who are learning English. Programs that rely on the funding were expecting it to be distributed July 1, but an Education Department notice issued Monday announced the money would not be released while the programs are under review. The department did not provide a timeline and warned 'decisions have not yet been made' on grants for the upcoming school year. 'The Department remains committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the President's priorities and the Department's statutory responsibilities,' Education Department officials wrote in the notice, which was obtained by The Associated Press. The department referred questions to the Office of Management and Budget, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Some advocates fear the grants are being targeted for elimination, which could force schools to cut programs and teachers. Trump's 2026 budget proposal called for Congress to zero out all of the programs under review, signaling the administration sees them as unnecessary. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., pressed the administration to spend the money as Congress intended. 'Every day that this funding is held up is a day that school districts are forced to worry about whether they'll have to cut back on afterschool programs or lay off teachers instead of worrying about how to make sure our kids can succeed,' Murray said in a statement. A national organization for afterschool programs called the department's action a 'stunning betrayal.' 'Withholding these funds will cause lasting harm to students and families, and to our education system, our future workforce, and our economy,' said Jodi Grant, executive director of the Afterschool Alliance. The six grant programs under review includes one known as 21st Century Community Learning Centers. It's the primary federal funding source for afterschool and summer learning programs and supports more than 10,000 local programs nationwide, according to the alliance. Every state runs its own competition to distribute the grants, which totaled $1.3 billion this fiscal year. Also under review are $2 billion in grants for teachers' professional development and efforts to reduce class size; $1 billion for academic enrichment grants, often used for science and math education and accelerated learning; $890 million for students who are learning English; $376 million to educate the children of migrant workers; and $715 million to teach adults how to read. California's education agency said it was notified Monday that it wouldn't be receiving money from those programs. 'Trump is illegally impounding billions of dollars appropriated by Congress to serve students this fiscal year," Tony Thurmond, California's state superintendent, said in a statement. 'The Administration is punishing children when states refuse to cater to Trump's political ideology.' The administration had signaled its desire to cut much of the money in an April letter to Sen. Susan Collins, chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations. In that letter, Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said cutting money for teaching kids to speak English would help "end overreach from Washington and restore the rightful role of State oversight in education.' 'They're trying to send a message,' said Amaya Garcia, who oversees education research at New America, a left-leaning think tank. 'They don't believe that taxpayer funding should be used for these children.' ___ The Associated Press' education coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.

Roughly 30 percent of 2024 voters used mail ballot: Research
Nearly a third of the ballots cast in the presidential election last fall were submitted by mail, despite long-standing efforts from President Trump and other Republicans to discourage the controversial voting method, new research found. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) released a report this week that found that, while mail-in ballots didn't hit the record levels seen during the height of the pandemic four years earlier (43 percent), the percentage of voters who cast ballots by mail last fall (30.3 percent) remained well above pre-pandemic levels. Most voters in the 2024 general election cast their ballots in person, with 37.4 percent on Election Day and 35.2 percent through in-person early voting opportunities, the report found. However, more than 48 million mail-in votes were cast and counted in the 2024 presidential election, in addition to ballots sent in by members of the military and other overseas voters. 'State policies on the availability of mail voting have evolved rapidly over the past few election cycles,' the EAC's analysts wrote of the findings. Eight states and Washington, D.C., have adopted 'all' or 'mostly' mail elections, where ballots are sent to registered voters and can be returned via secure drop boxes or the U.S. Postal Service, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Additional states allow mail-in elections in some jurisdictions. The growing popularity of voting by mail also comes as Trump has targeted the ballot-casting method as a potential avenue for voter fraud. The president signed an executive order in March that would require all states and territories to count mail-in ballots on or before Election Day, as part of a broader election system overhaul that Trump backed after years of making unfounded claims about widespread voter fraud. 'Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic,' Trump wrote in the order, which a federal judge blocked last month. 'The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election.' Trump's executive order, rather than ending early voting, sought to rein in delays in finalizing vote tallies in some states, including California, which is the country's most populous state and has an all-mail voting system. California allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted up to seven days after polls close. Trump cited other countries that have more restrictions on when ballots can be counted, including those submitted by mail. 'While countries like Denmark and Sweden sensibly limit mail-in voting to those unable to vote in person and do not count late-arriving votes regardless of the date of postmark, many American elections now feature mass voting by mail, with many officials accepting ballots without postmarks or those received well after Election Day,' he wrote. The EAC findings are based on surveys of elections officials in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
