Overview
- Committee Chair Rep. Tim Walberg sent document requests to the three K-12 districts to review whether Jewish students faced a hostile environment.
- The districts were given a December 8 deadline to provide records as the panel evaluates compliance with federal civil-rights obligations tied to funding.
- Fairfax County Public Schools said it received the letter and stated it intends to fully cooperate with the inquiry.
- The School District of Philadelphia previously entered a federally mandated corrective action plan in December 2024, and Walberg’s letter cites press and whistleblower reports alleging incidents continued afterward.
- The letters seek broad materials, including complaints and documents on protests, curricula, speakers and contracts referencing Jews, Judaism, Israel, Palestine, Zionism or antisemitism, reflecting a wider administration push on Title VI enforcement in education.
