Trump Administration Releases Over $1 Billion in After-School Funding
In a significant move, the Trump administration has announced the release of more than $1 billion in previously frozen funds aimed at supporting after-school and summer programs across the United States. This decision comes as a partial reversal of earlier funding cuts that had targeted essential educational programs. The funds are expected to provide critical support to various organizations, including local Boys and Girls Clubs, which have been facing challenges due to budget constraints. The Education Department is prioritizing the release of these funds, recognizing the vital role that after-school programs play in the community, particularly for children and families in need.
