The US Department of Education has released roughly $6 billion in frozen education funding. This includes programs for English language acquisition, teacher development, and adult education, previously paused under review for alleged misuse of funds. The release follows a similar unfreezing of over $1 billion in after-school and summer learning funds last week and comes after pressure from senators and lawsuits from school districts. The funds were initially frozen due to concerns about alignment with administration priorities. It remains unclear when states will receive the funds.
