美国教育部批准印第安纳州将五项联邦教育资金合并为一项一次性拨款
Read, Watch or Listen
Indianapolis — The U.S. Department of Education approved on Tuesday Indiana's waiver to consolidate five federal education funding streams into a single block grant, allowing the state to combine about $50 million in federal dollars. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced the approval at an event in Indiana with State Secretary Katie Jenner and Governor Mike Braun. State officials said the change will reduce compliance and documentation costs by roughly $20 million, freeing funds to be redirected to classrooms over the next four years. Indiana is the third state to receive the 'Returning Education to the States' waiver, following earlier approvals for Iowa and Louisiana this year, and leaders said they will prioritize college and career readiness.
