Utah revoked another campus license on Friday for the boarding school where Paris Hilton said she was abused as a teenager. The announcement Friday marks a major victory in the hotel heiress’ yearslong effort to get the school shut down. The Utah Department of Health and Human Services’ decision cites a multitude of noncompliance citations in 2026 for the Provo Canyon School’s Provo campus, including not protecting “a client from potential harm or acts of violence." The school’s director of business development says they do not agree with the decision. Earlier this month, the state revoked the license for the school's other campus in Utah.

The U.S. agency that oversees dozens of schools serving Native Americans is reporting more on-time high school graduations than ever. The Bureau of Indian Education says nearly 80% of high schoolers are graduating within four years. That's up from only half a decade ago. The Trump administration says it's committed to Native students. There's also been a push to correct how graduation rates are tabulated. Some BIE educators attribute the boost to local innovations. Still, tribal leaders fear that progress could be undermined by budget cuts and the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education.
