Trump administration to release funds for after-school, summer programming
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – The $1.3 billion release restores funding for 1.4 million students at 10,000 sites nationwide after a 17-day freeze during a programmatic review and bipartisan pressure.
- On Friday, the Education Department will release $1.3 billion in frozen grant money, supporting after-school and summer programs frozen two weeks earlier.
- On July 1, OMB halted funds during an programmatic review, encompassing about $6.8 billion approved by Congress in March.
- Two dozen states sued on July 14 to restore funds, while ten Republican senators sent a July 16 letter and Democrats urged release in July 10 letters.
- Superintendent Kate Bartlett called the release huge relief, as funding preserves free before- and after-school and summer programs with child care and enrichment.
- Remaining funding streams still require compliance, and about $5.5 billion in other education grants remains on pause, as stated in the Department of Education notice.
