K-12 federal funds

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.

Trump administration funding cuts are ending a program that put $5 million of local produce on the lunch trays of students across North Carolina this year.

U.S. Department of Education funding cuts are affecting teacher recruitment in NC schools. Wake County educators say their program recruited teachers of all races and training was not DEI-focused.
