萝卜AV视频FY25 Witholding Survey
From July 11th to July 18th, 萝卜AV视频surveyed 628 superintendents in 43 states to ascertain how the Trump Administration鈥檚 decision to withhold FY25 federal education funds will impact or have already impacted public school children.
This summary presents key findings from the comprehensive survey. The document highlights critical insights from district leaders, revealing the real-world impact of budget constraints on student services, educational programs and school operations.
These findings provide essential data for policymakers, education advocates, and community stakeholders working to understand and address the current FY25 funding freeze challenges facing public education.
As a district serving a majority of low-income and minority students, the loss of federal funds will have a devastating impact on our ability to provide high-quality education. These funds have been critical in reducing class sizes, attracting and retaining exceptional teachers, and offering the training and resources our students need to thrive. Without this support, our progress in closing achievement gaps and promoting academic success is at serious risk.
Dr. Sherlene McDonald, Superintendent, Tarrant City Schools (Ala.)
Federal programs are not extras in Page County 鈥� they are foundational for our students. I urge federal leaders to take immediate action and release the remaining FY25 funds to ensure that districts like mine can continue meeting the needs of our most vulnerable learners.
