President Trump has withheld nearly $7 billion in US education funding, jeopardizing essential services for over 1.4 million students. The funds, approved by Congress, support after-school programs, English language learners, teacher training, and mental health services. School districts face chaos just weeks before classes resume. The move, lacking a clear explanation, has been widely criticized as illegal by education leaders and lawmakers, with potential legal challenges looming. The delay threatens vulnerable students and working families nationwide.
