The U.S. Department of Education has announced that it is withholding $26 million that was supposed to be given to the Vermont Agency of Education on July 1.Vermont Secretary of Education Zoie Saunders said the decision will likely be detrimental to districts around the state this fall.

Pennsylvania education officials were informed of the funding delay late June 30, after school districts had already approved their budgets. The funding freeze affects seven federal programs totaling nearly $7 billion nationwide.

Nearly $7 billion in education funding—which Congress had approved and President Trump signed into law in March—wouldn’t be released as expected the following day. The email didn’t elaborate on why, mentioning a review.
