Nold Talks Federal Freeze, Says Job Cuts Not Planned
PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 15 – Pennsylvania joins 25 states and D.C. in suing to restore $230 million in frozen federal education funds supporting teacher training, after-school programs, and language services.
- This past week, North Carolina joined a multistate lawsuit, challenging the Trump administration’s decision to withhold $6.8 billion in education funding.
- One day before July 1, the governor's office said the freeze occurred, citing the Trump administration's review of program alignment with priorities.
- Amid funding uncertainty, school districts still don’t know when or if funds will be restored, and City Schools Executive Director Sandi Jacobs said the system is weighing cuts to programs.
- In legal filings, the lawsuit contends the freeze violates federal funding statutes and the separation of powers, and it includes 25 other states and the District of Columbia.
- Looking ahead, programs including teacher training, enrichment and English learner support are at risk, and City Schools Executive Director of Data Monitoring and Compliance Kimberly Hoffman said the system will struggle to secure staff and materials for the coming school year.
