US EditionTrump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more
- On July 1, the Trump administration withheld over $6 billion in federal education grants for after-school, summer programs, and related services across the U.S.
- This action followed a department review begun after a change in administration to align funds with President Trump's priorities, delaying grant distribution.
- The frozen funds include support for groups like 21st Century Community Learning Centers and cover programs aiding English learners, migrant children, and adult literacy.
- Advocates warned that withholding funds could force schools to cut teachers and shut after-school programs, with Jim Clark saying, "the fallout will be swift and devastating."
- The funding freeze threatens summer and school-year programs particularly in rural districts, prompting concerns about program closures affecting more than 220,000 children nationwide.
