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

UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – The administration’s freeze threatens essential programs for English learners and after-school services, impacting over 220,000 youth and risking nearly 6,000 jobs, advocates warn.

  • On July 1, 2025, the Trump administration froze $6.8 billion in federal K-12 funds, with no timeline for review, threatening school budgets nationwide.
  • Months ago, the Trump administration signaled its intent to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, complemented by plans to eliminate programs in its fiscal 2026 budget proposal.
  • Several critical programs, including before- and after-school programs, migrant education and English-learner support, which Randi Weingarten said 'directly harms the children in our nation,' are being withheld, critics argue.
  • This uncertainty has forced school districts to delay hiring and initiatives just weeks before the upcoming school year.
  • Boys and Girls Clubs of America could close over 900 centers, impacting more than 220,000 children, Jim Clark warned, if funding remains frozen.
