- The funds support after-school, summer, adult education, and other programs, and states rely on July 1 disbursements to budget for the coming academic year.

- Attorneys general argue the freeze violates federal statutes and separation of powers, seeking court orders to unblock funds as schools scramble with the school year approaching.
