California is suing the Trump administration for withholding approximately $939 million in education funds that were expected to be distributed to school districts. These funds, already appropriated by Congress, are essential for programs that assist English learners and students from migrant families. They also support teacher training, after-school initiatives, and classroom technology. The lawsuit is led by California and three other Democratic states on behalf of 23 states. Despite the funds constituting less than 1% of California's education budget, their withholding has significant implications.
California officials announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration for withholding $939 million in education funds needed for programs aiding English learners and migrant students.
The funding, appropriated by Congress, supports teacher training, after-school programs, and technology, crucial for school districts including Los Angeles Unified, projected to lose $110.2 million.
The lawsuit claims the Trump administration's actions are unconstitutional, as the withheld funds are crucial for various education programs and their delay fundamentally undermines educational support.
California and three other Democratic-led states are spearheading the lawsuit on behalf of 23 states, challenging the federal government over what they consider unlawful fund withholding.
