Healey Blasts Trump Administration for Withholding $108M From Mass. Schools

CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – California schools face financial strain from an $811 million federal grant freeze, forcing program cuts and risking impacts on vulnerable students, according to the Learning Policy Institute.

  • On July 1, 2025, Massachusetts schools did not receive $108 million in funds allocated by Congress for education programs, as the Trump administration paused certain grant disbursements nationwide pending a review aligned with presidential priorities.
  • This action followed a June 30 notice from federal education officials indicating that the release of certain grants is being postponed to assess their consistency with President Trump's priorities.
  • The withheld funds cover programs such as Adult Basic Education and Integrated English Language and Civics Education, which support after-school, summer learning, and instructional services statewide.
  • Governor Healey emphasized that the ongoing delay in releasing education funds negatively impacts students, teachers, local communities, and the overall economy, as school districts face potential layoffs and the cancellation of programs due to the funding freeze.
  • This funding stoppage affects all states and vulnerable students, prompting calls for immediate release of appropriated funds and signaling potential legal challenges if obligations are unmet.
