Trump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more
- By the July 1, 2025 deadline, the U.S. Department of Education had yet to distribute over $6 billion in nationwide federal grant funding to school districts.
- The Trump administration is reviewing several congressionally approved programs to ensure they align with presidential priorities and has not decided if or when funding will be awarded.
- Delays in federal funding are impacting critical grants that support programs such as after-school care, services for English language learners, and adult education, jeopardizing school districts' budgets and planned initiatives.

- If the review continues without Congressional action, schools may face significant cuts to essential programs, threatening after-school care and teaching for vulnerable students this fall.
