The Trump administration has released billions of dollars in grants to schools for adult literacy, English language instruction, and other programs. The funding, totaling over $6 billion, had been frozen since July 1st pending a White House review. This decision followed lawsuits and bipartisan pressure from Congress members concerned about the impact on schools and after-school programs. The funds will be distributed to states next week after the Office of Management and Budget completed its review, averting potential cuts to crucial educational services.
