Federal Funding Cuts Threaten Major School Districts Over Gender and Diversity Policies

Multiple school districts, including those in New York City, Chicago, and Fairfax County, face significant federal funding cuts as the Trump administration imposes restrictions linked to their transgender and diversity initiatives. This could result in losses exceeding $65 million, impacting programs across various districts. Chicago Public Schools, facing financial uncertainties, stands firm on its Black Student Success Plan despite threats from the administration to withhold magnet school funding. Concerns have also been raised regarding compliance with Title IX policies related to bathroom use, with deadlines set for districts to amend their guidelines. As appeals are filed, the outcome remains uncertain for schools reliant on these federal funds.
