The Trump administration has moved to freeze $6.8 billion in education funds nationwide, with at least $811 million of that from California. The grants, allocated by Congress, were intended for programs such as English language learning, after-school and summer activities, and adult literacy. The administration said the freeze is part of an effort to ensure spending aligns with President Donald Trump’s priorities. Officials have stressed that no final decision has been made on releasing the funds, citing instances of expenditures that may breach policy. "The Department remains committed to ensuring taxpayer resources are spent in accordance with the President’s priorities," the Department of Education said.  Schools and day camp providers warn that the freeze could harm low-income families this summer and into fall. Programs had expected the funds by July 1, but the department announced the money would be withheld pending a review.
