Worcester Public Schools joins lawsuit to keep Dept. of Education

Worcester Public Schools joined a lawsuit against the federal government, announced on Wednesday, to challenge actions against the DOE.
The Trump administration's actions to reduce the Department of Education prompted the legal challenge to ensure continued federal education funding.
Worcester became a declarant, acting as a witness for the plaintiffs, including Somerville and Easthampton, in the March 24 lawsuit.
Superintendent Monárrez stated, "The U.S. Department of Education provides invaluable resources and technical assistance that have a direct impact on educational outcomes."
Losing approximately $53 million in annual federal funding, about nine percent of its budget, would significantly impact WPS programs for 25,000 students.
