The Trump administration's unlawful withholding of nearly $7 billion in congressionally-approved K-12 education funding is causing immense harm to children, families, and educators across the nation. These vital funds support critical programs like after-school care, services for migrant students, professional development for teachers, language acquisition initiatives, and technology access in classrooms. By blocking the release of 10% or more of total federal K-12 funding for states and territories, the Education Department is creating funding crises and chaos for schools struggling to provide essential services. This unconstitutional impoundment undermines the will of Congress and deprives America's students of resources essential for their success. I urge you to take immediate action to demand the release of these impounded funds and ensure our nation's children receive the support they need and deserve.
