- The pause impacts six federal grant programs supporting teacher training, migrant education, mental health services, and after-school programs serving thousands of students and employing hundreds of staff.
- State officials reported Alabama districts missing $68 million linked to salaries and after-school programs serving over 1,200 students with about 75 staff, while North Carolina faces $169 million withheld pending review.
- Officials including Alabama Superintendent Mackey urge expediting the review to avoid disrupting school staffing and services as the new school year approaches in weeks.
