School districts have increasingly found themselves at the center of tense conflict in recent years. And those conflicts come at a cost. These clashes—over issues like how districts are addressing race and policies related to LGBTQ+ students’ rights—cost American schools more than $3 billion in the 2023-24 academic year, according to a new analysis.

In a on Tuesday, Judge Lewis Liman said Giuliani must place the property in receivership controlled by Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.
