The U.S. Department of Education has suspended its major initiative, the K-12 Cybersecurity Government Coordinating Council, due to an executive order from the Trump administration aimed at reducing government size. This council, which facilitated collaboration among various stakeholders on cybersecurity issues, allowed for crucial information sharing to counter cyber threats. Additionally, funding for the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center is uncertain, putting a significant strain on cybersecurity resources for state and local governments. These developments could heighten vulnerabilities in school cybersecurity as federal support diminishes.
