- 01
How would schools identify and verify whether foreign funding sources are connected to the Chinese government, and what resources would the Department of Education provide to assist with compliance?
- 02
What specific categories of foreign funding or partnerships would schools need to disclose, and could legitimate educational exchanges or research collaborations be inadvertently restricted?
- 03
If schools lose federal funding due to undisclosed foreign sources, what alternatives exist for districts in low-income areas that depend heavily on federal education dollars?
