On May 16, 2025, Secretary McMahon announced a substantial increase in funding for charter schools, adding $60 million to the Charter Schools Program for the current fiscal year. This raises the program's total budget to $500 million. She also launched a new initiative called the Model Development and Dissemination Grant Program, designed to showcase successful strategies from innovative charter schools across the country. McMahon described these actions as part of the administration's commitment to "education freedom" and creating "life-changing opportunities for students and families."
In more recent news, on May 28, McMahon stated during a CNBC interview that universities should continue their research "as long as they're abiding by the laws and in sync with the administration and what the administration is trying to accomplish." These comments came amid an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and Harvard University, where the government has begun pulling federal contracts and funding, accusing the institution of failing to comply with Title VI anti-discrimination laws.
That same day, McMahon expressed concerns about foreign students, suggesting some are "creating unrest on campuses" and that there are professors "teaching ideology more than subject matter." These statements coincided with reports that the State Department has paused processing foreign students' visas and is developing new social media vetting procedures before granting approvals.
During a May 21 appearance before a House appropriations subcommittee, McMahon offered few specifics about planned budget cuts at the Education Department. When questioned by Democratic lawmakers about following congressional directives for fund allocation, McMahon affirmed, "We will abide by the law." The department has already reduced its staff by nearly half as what McMahon previously described as a "first step" toward eliminating the department entirely, though such action would require congressional approval.
The Education Department under McMahon has opened numerous discrimination investigations threatening to withdraw federal funding from educational institutions that don't adhere to presidential orders regarding diversity programs and transgender athlete participation. The department has also canceled various contracts and grants it claims violate presidential directives, despite congressional allocation of funds for these programs. These actions have prompted multiple lawsuits from education advocates.
Since her confirmation in March 2025, McMahon has consistently emphasized her commitment to implementing President Trump's education agenda, focusing on reducing federal involvement in education and increasing state and local control.
