A previously announced $6.8 billion educational funding freeze is part of an ongoing review, the Trump administration said in a clarification.
The U.S. Department of Education Monday emailed state departments of education across the country and stated that the department would not issue its Grant Award Notification for programs on Tuesday, before completing its review. Each year on July 1, states receive their federal education funds Congress has allocated for the upcoming school year.
Outraged by the abrupt funding freeze, Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, posted on X stating this will hurt vulnerable members of the community.
“The U.S. Department of Education’s decision to withhold critical school funding — money allocated by Congress — will hurt the most vulnerable members of our community,” Carvalho wrote. “Here at Los Angeles Unified, we will stand together in our commitment to serve all of our students, and I will do everything in my power to protect our students from these devastating cuts.”
