The Department of Education announced Friday the release of more than $5 billion of funding to schools after an almost monthlong pause.
At the beginning of July, the Trump administration paused the typical release of almost $7 billion in funding to schools that went toward after-school and summer activities, classes for English learners and adults and teacher preparation programs, among other things.
Last week, the administration released more than $1 billion for after-school and summer programs but declined to say when the rest would be released.
OMB has completed its review of Title I-C, Title II-A, Title III-A, and Title IV-A ESEA funds and Title II WIOA funds, and has directed the Department to release all formula funds.
