K-12 federal funds

This year, schools have faced canceled grants, delayed funds, and abrupt decisions by the U.S. Dept. of Education. WUNC tracked $320 million in disrupted funds.

State Supt. Mo Green says most federal funding should keep flowing to schools, but a program that helps fund school districts near military bases and federal land could be affected.

Most of the funds awarded to the NC Association for Public Charter Schools will go to charter schools seeking to open or expand seats to more students.

It's part of the U.S. Department of Education's crackdown on grants promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.

When the Trump administration recently reversed course on billions in federal education funding, it wasn’t the first time something like this happened. Earlier this year, it also pulled - and then reinstated - COVID relief funds that had a big impact on one Robeson County school.

The remaining $130 million to North Carolina includes funds for English language learners, teacher training, and migrant students. This comes after the U.S. Department of Education froze $6.8 billion to schools nationwide, and 24 states including NC sued.

North Carolina will receive about $36 million for after-school and summer programs. Other funds are still on pause for teacher training and services for English language learners and migrant students.

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson and State Superintendent Mo Green held a joint press conference Monday to announce the lawsuit.

State education officials received a memo that certain federal funds schools receive each July are frozen. See how much funding is affected at each NC district or charter school.

Federal grants from the U.S. Department of Education will not continue at Wake County Public Schools and UNC-Chapel Hill due to the Trump Administration's cancellation of federal funding for mental health services.
