Trump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more

  • The Trump administration withheld over $6 billion in federal education grants on July 1, delaying funds for after-school, summer, and language programs nationwide.
  • The delay resulted from a Department of Education review to align grants with Trump’s priorities, with officials informing states on June 30 that funding decisions remain undecided.
  • Programs impacted include federal grants supporting teacher professional development, services for migrant students and English language learners, as well as funding for academic enrichment and before- and after-school activities, all of which are vital components of many school districts’ budgets.
  • Jodi Grant said withholding funds could cause lasting economic harm, while Washington superintendent Chris Reykdal warned that districts planned budgets assuming receipt of these grants totaling billions annually.
  • The freeze threatens closures of after-school programs serving hundreds of thousands of children and may force layoffs, as states struggle to fill at least 10% of their K-12 support with pending federal money.
