Krishnamoorthi and colleagues challenge an education funding rule they say could delay school grant payments.
Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers challenge new Education Department rule: Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi and ten other lawmakers said they are questioning a Trump administration requirement that schools and other Education Department grant recipients give a written justification of no more than 255 characters each time they request payment from approved federal grants.
Concerns about possible delays: In a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Murray Bessette, the lawmakers said the rule, set to take effect Nov. 1, could slow funding for services such as reading instruction and special education. The department says the “Defend the Spend” initiative is meant to improve transparency.
Questions sent to the department: The lawmakers asked for details on the rule’s legal basis, how “invalid or incomplete” requests would be judged, how long reviews could take, and whether the department has estimated the administrative burden on grantees.
