US EditionNold Talks Federal Freeze, Says Job Cuts Not Planned
PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 15 – Governor Shapiro joins 25 states and DC in suing to restore $230 million in frozen federal funds critical for Pennsylvania education programs and teacher training.
- On Monday, July 14, Governor Shapiro announced his office is suing the Trump administration over withheld education funds.
- According to a governor's office release, on Monday, June 30, the U.S. Department of Education notified the Pennsylvania Department of Education of a $230 million delay, a day before July 1 disbursements.
- Joining 25 other states and the District of Columbia, the lawsuit co-led by Pennsylvania signals widespread opposition to the funding freeze.
- Still, without federal dollars, the school system will face challenges getting staff and materials ready, and the district has not disclosed which employees or programs are most at risk.
- Under Title II-A, $70 million supports teacher recruitment and quality instruction, threatening programs if frozen.
