The president has no authority whatsoever over public schools. Those are the domain of their respective school boards or state education agencies.

I understand there is a Department of Education. But what is the scope of its authority? Can it regulate the bathroom behavior of local schools? Can it set curriculum standards? Can it enforce any of those dictates, even if it has the authority to publish them?
