Florida school district proposes removing diversity programs to keep $300M in federal funding.

Palm Beach County schools are proposing emergency policy changes to remove diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to avoid losing about $300 million in federal funding. The changes include ending tracking of contracts with minority- and women-owned businesses and considering diversity in hiring. Meanwhile, Orange County Public Schools face a potential $27.8 million loss due to a projected 3,130 student drop, leading them to partner with a recruitment firm to boost enrollment.
