Trump administration withholds over $6 billion for after-school, summer programs and more

UNITED STATES, JUL 2 – The withheld $6.8 billion disrupts programs serving over a million students nationwide, including after-school, English learning, and teacher training grants crucial for the 2025-26 school year.

  • The Trump administration withheld over $6.8 billion in federal education funding on July 1, affecting after-school, summer, and language programs nationwide.
  • This funding freeze followed a June 30 notice that the Department of Education was reviewing grants to ensure alignment with presidential priorities.
  • Affected programs include services for English learners, migrant children, professional development, and community learning centers, causing uncertainty among districts and families.
  • Jim Clark warned that up to 926 Boys and Girls Clubs could close, impacting 220,000 children, while Senator Patty Murray urged immediate fund release, calling delays a risk to kids.
  • Education agencies are actively supporting districts through outreach to mitigate impacts, but districts face operational challenges and possible program closures if funding remains withheld.
