We need your help to urge the Trump Administration to release FY25 funds that are being withheld from public schools.

Contact your members of Congress and urge them to request the immediate release of these funds (see resources below).

Background:

On June 30, the Administration notified states that it was not going to allocate FY25 funds for Title I-C, Title II-A, Title III-A, Title IV-A and Title IV-B – until further review. On July 21, OMB released Title IV-B funds to the states. While we are relieved to see these critical funds being released, this is only $1.3 billion out of $6.2 billion.

We must keep up pressure until all FY25 funds are available for districts as appropriated by Congress.

Please customize the message below with your district’s data and send it to the staffers who work for your members of Congress. We recommend providing as much detail about how you use these funds and what you will be forced to cut if the money never comes through. .

51ÂÜÀò is actively advocating for the Administration to release these critical funds. While we continue this important work, we recognize the challenges our members are facing during this period of uncertainty. Visit this blog post for guidance on navigating this funding delay and to ensure your district moves forward effectively if funds are allocated.

Thank you in advance for your support on behalf of public education and every child in every community.

Dear [name],

I am the Superintendent of [district] in [city/county, state], serving [number] students. I am deeply concerned by the Administration’s recent action to withhold critical FY25 funds, including Title I, Part C; Title II, Part A; Title III, Title IV, Part A & B.

While I was relieved to see that OMB released Title IV-B funds, it is critical that the remaining funds are sent out as soon as possible.

My district receives [dollar amount] from these programs and this delay has already significantly disrupted my district’s ability to plan for the upcoming school year. If we lose these funds we will be forced to cut [insert program and/or dollar cuts here and any additional information about how this will affect your community].

I ask [Representative/Senator name] to contact OMB and urge them to release these funds as soon as possible.

Thank you,
