  • Multiple 90-120 day deadlines for same agencies may strain capacity
  • Vague 'prioritize' and 'seek to' language in several sections may reduce enforceability
  • Public-private partnership model creates uncertainty about resource levels and geographic equity
  • Potential tension between rapid AI tool deployment and unresolved student data privacy concerns
  • Competition between AI education and other STEM/computer science priorities for limited grant funds
