Trump’s administration to release over $5 billion in school funds after bipartisan backlash over political funding freeze.
The Trump administration will release over $5 billion in K-12 education funds that had been frozen for weeks under a controversial review. The freeze, which affected programs for migrant children, teacher training, and after-school initiatives, drew bipartisan criticism and sparked legal action from Democratic-led states.
The Education Department confirmed that states will begin receiving funds next week, though no findings from the review were disclosed. A senior official said new "guardrails" would apply but gave no details.
The administration initially claimed some funds were used to support a "radical leftwing agenda." Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned the freeze, and Republicans welcomed Friday’s reversal.
