Fairfax Co. Superintendent Concerned About Impact of $13M in Frozen Grant Funding
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 10 – Administrative delays in federal funding have stalled $50 million in grants, affecting educational programs and creating uncertainty for San Diego schools, officials said.
- The Trump administration withheld over $13 million in federal grant funding from Fairfax County Public Schools as of this week, affecting the upcoming school year.
- This funding freeze follows the federal government's broader decision last week to block $7 billion in education funds allocated by Congress for fiscal year 2024.
- The frozen grants support programs like professional development, English learner services, and after-school initiatives, with leaders warning the freeze disrupts planning and could particularly harm multilingual students.
- Superintendent Michelle Reid expressed uncertainty about the funding review, stressing that any suspension of funds or program reductions directly affect people, and mentioned that district officials plan to convene next week to explore alternative funding options.
- The withholding may force cuts or program changes for the 48,500 multilingual students in Fairfax County and reflects a nationwide issue affecting multiple school districts' capacity to serve vulnerable populations.
