US Edition'We Can't Not Do the Program': Boys and Girls Clubs Caught in Federal Funding Freeze
WASHINGTON STATE, JUL 15 – Washington joins 24 states in challenging a $6.8 billion federal education funding freeze that impacts K-12 and adult education programs, affecting tens of thousands of students, officials said.
- Washington and other states sued the U.S. Department of Education on July 1 to release billions in withheld education grants for the 2025-26 school year.
- The funds were frozen after a June 30 email said grants were under review due to the administration change, disrupting planned student support programs.
- Nearly $137 million for K-12 schools and $13.8 million for adult education in Washington are withheld, affecting over 33,000 community college students and supplemental programs.
- Attorney General Nick Brown condemned the federal government's actions as unjustifiable, stating they are causing significant disruption to local school districts as the new academic year approaches, and emphasized their commitment to securing all the funds owed to students.
- The lawsuit argues withholding funds violates Congress's authority, with officials warning that the freeze harms students and educators by disrupting critical educational services.
