Trump Administration Releases Over $5 Billion in Frozen Education Funds

The Trump administration announced the release of $5.5 billion in previously frozen federal education funds after facing internal and external pressure, ending a month-long delay that impacted school districts nationwide. The funds, part of nearly $7 billion approved by Congress, include money for teacher training, arts, English learning, and support for migrant children. While the release helps districts plan for the new school year, future funding cuts are anticipated as the administration seeks to reduce costs and overhaul education funding priorities.
