US EditionCalifornia Schools to Lose $1 Billion in Federal Funding Over Gender Policies, State Leaders Say
CALIFORNIA, JUL 5 – California schools face an $811 million funding freeze as the Trump administration claims the grants do not align with presidential priorities, affecting programs and prompting potential legal challenges.
- The Trump Administration refused today to release $811 million in federal school funding approved by Congress as part of the 2025 budget, affecting California and nationwide districts.
- This refusal follows President Trump's fiscal 2026 budget plans to streamline education grants, with critics accusing the administration of bypassing Congressional approval by withholding funds.
- Due to the funding freeze, school districts are having to cut staff, postpone programs, and cancel summer learning and professional development activities.
- Tony Thurmond, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, highlighted that the decision is causing immediate harm and urged the administration to release the approved funds without any further delay, emphasizing that withholding the money is unlawful since Congress has already authorized it.
- The freeze causes uncertainty nationwide as districts plan for worst-case scenarios, and states consider options including lawsuits, while federal officials monitor the situation to minimize student impacts.
