Overview: The Palm Beach County School Board meeting tackled urgent policy revisions in response to federal requirements linked to the Students v. Harvard Supreme Court case, the implications of which threaten a potential $300 million loss in federal funding. The board considered emergency actions to modify, repeal, or adopt new policies to align with Title VI compliance, a federal mandate necessitated by the Florida Department of Education. Failure to comply by the April 2025 deadline could severely impact the district’s budget, which relies heavily on federal funds to support its educational mission.
