1. The Report on Indicators of School Crime and Safety for 2024 that was expected to be released by NCES in July 2025 was pulled from an official publication schedule this week.
2. As a result of a vote by the National Assessment Governing Board, the scope of the National Assessment of Educational Progress has been reduced for the next 8 years.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been curious about the outlook on NCES data, and particularly data Common Core of Data (CCD) shared under the Education Demographic and Geographic Estimates (EDGE) initiative, and the Private School Universe Survey (PSS). If I understand correctly, the contracts for those were cancelled, but the Department of Education indicated they will enter into new contracts to meet statutory requirements, so am keeping an ear out in hopes there might be updates. I really appreciate this Federal Data Forum.
