US EditionNorth St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District Stands to Lose $622K in Federal Funding After Trump Administration Withholds Dollars
- The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District stands to lose $621,716 in federal funding as the Trump administration withholds grant funds on July 1, 2025.
- The freeze on funding is due to a federal review postponing the distribution of several FY 2025 education grants, even though Congress approved the allocated budget earlier this year.
- The withheld funds affect programs serving English learners, teacher development, professional growth, and summer initiatives, and districts cannot obligate these funds without critical federal guidance.
- Superintendent Tucci Osorio said the district budgeted for this funding covering staff salaries, technology, and literacy, noting districts with high poverty face disproportionate impacts.
- The pause causes uncertainty statewide, prompting districts to seek alternative funding and sparking criticism from education leaders who say the freeze harms students and community programs.
