Quiver AI Summary

On July 31, 2025, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the Department of Energy violated the Impoundment Control Act regarding delayed funding for the Renew America’s Schools Program. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur stated that this decision upholds Congress's authority over appropriations and criticized the improper freezing of funds intended for schools.

Kaptur and House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro condemned the actions of President Trump and OMB Director Russ Vought, alleging they compromised energy funding and thus affected American families. The Renew America’s Schools Program aims to enhance energy efficiency in K-12 public schools, with substantial investments reported across the country.

Kaptur urged for the immediate release of funds to support energy improvements in schools and argued that such delays harm both students and families.
