Education Department to Release Withheld Grant Money: Critics Question Motives
The Trump administration has reversed its decision to withhold billions of dollars in education grants, following weeks of uncertainty and criticism. The initial freeze, which began on July 1st, impacted various programs, including those for English language instruction and adult literacy, prompting concern from educators and lawmakers. The Office of Management and Budget has completed its review, with funds slated to begin distribution to states next week. This release of funds comes after pressure from both Democrats and Republican senators, who emphasized the critical role of these programs in supporting local communities.
