Duckworth and Durbin urge the Trump Administration to release $7 billion for K-12 and adult education, impacting Illinois schools.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, along with several colleagues, have expressed strong opposition to the Trump Administration's decision to block nearly $7 billion in federal funding for K-12 schools and adult literacy programs. They highlighted that over $241 million intended for Illinois schools is included in this amount, which has created budget gaps for many districts.
The Senators' letter to OMB Director Russ Vought and Education Secretary Linda McMahon demanded the immediate release of these funds, which they argue are critical for supporting educational programs and maintaining teacher employment. They emphasized that withholding this funding harms students and adult learners nationwide.
The blocked funding affects various educational initiatives, including professional development for teachers and after school programs, exacerbating current teacher shortages and threatening the educational resources available to vulnerable populations, according to the lawmakers.
