Trump Withholds Federal Money From Schools:

 Newsweek - President Donald Trump's administration has acted to withhold billions of dollars in federal education funding from states and local school districts, impacting a wide range of programs and threatening the financial stability of schools across at least 33 states and territories.

The administration notified grantees that funds previously slated for teacher training, after-school programs and services for English learners and migrant students would not be released on July 1 as expected, pending an ongoing departmental review of fiscal year 2025 grant funding, Politico reported Monday.

Estimates place the total amount affected nationwide between $5 billion and $6.8 billion, including at least $811 million earmarked for California alone. The move came with limited advance notice to states, many of which had already hired staff and planned programs expecting the money to arrive.
