US EditionTrump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more
- The U.S. Department of Education is currently conducting a review and has paused the distribution of over $6 billion in federal funding intended for programs such as after-school activities, summer learning, and other educational initiatives.
- This funding freeze follows Congress’s approval earlier this year and a July 1 deadline when states typically receive allocated funds for the 2025-2026 school year.
- The withheld grants cover programs such as Title I-C for migrant education, Title II for teacher development, Title III for English learners, Title IV for enrichment, and others supporting thousands of local initiatives.
- The department stated the review ensures grants align with presidential priorities, while Washington Superintendent Reykdal warned the freeze could cause extreme financial distress and disrupt programs serving millions of students.
- If the funds remain frozen, districts risk cutting staff and ending critical after-school and summer programs, disproportionately affecting rural communities and vulnerable students.
