Frozen Funds Matter

School districts across Tennessee are suffering from Donald Trump’s freezing of key education funding.

In total, more than $6 billion in federal funding has been frozen, including $118 million designated for Tennessee public schools.

While leaders in some states are suing the Administration for release of the funds, Gov. Lee is not – and if the funds are not ultimately released, it could mean lost jobs and less programs for Tennessee kids most in need.

NewsChannel9 in Chattanooga reports on the impact in that region:

A spokesperson for Hamilton County Schools says they are at risk of losing $4.1 million that funds “several targeted services such as academic intervention (tutoring), teacher professional learning, and support for English learners.”
