US EditionLawmakers Seek Release of Federal Education Funding
MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Michigan’s superintendent demands release of $160 million held by the Trump administration amid a nationwide $7 billion freeze affecting vulnerable student programs, officials said.
- Nearly $7 billion in federal education funds, which were scheduled for distribution by July 1, remain withheld, with Michigan set to receive close to $160 million and Georgia more than $201 million.
- The funding is being withheld pending a programmatic review by federal budget officials amid concerns over the improper use of grant programs, with no final decisions reached so far.
- States and school districts have made staffing and programming commitments assuming this funding, which supports migrant education, English learners, staff development, after-school, and enrichment programs.
- The withheld federal funds comprise $63.7 million designated to enhance staff training, $36.7 million allocated to out-of-school time programs, $38.3 million aimed at academic enrichment initiatives, $12.8 million supporting programs for English learners, and $5.4 million set aside for migrant education.
- Education leaders and officials from Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Washington are pressing federal authorities to disburse the approved education funds promptly to prevent interruptions in the upcoming school year.
