The Trump administration is withholding almost $6.9 billion in federal K–12 education funding, normally released to states on July 1, from students and classrooms, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Despite Congress passing a continuing resolution in March—which President Trump signed extending previous funding levels through fiscal year 2025—the Department is taking a first step toward “impoundment,” the illegal withholding of money appropriated by Congress to fund federal programs and activities.
These billions of dollars would be used for curriculum, technology, and other critical services. The loss of these funds affects thousands of school districts and every state in the nation. If the funds are not released soon, this move will force schools to cut educators’ salaries as well as reading and math supports, student services, including summer and after-school programs, and support for migrant students and English learners. Educators will face layoffs leading to significantly larger class sizes.
