Today, the Trump Administration released additional budget materials to Congress for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26). While not officially the full FY26 budget proposal, this information builds upon the 鈥溾�� and provides specific funding requests for programs. Overall, the (USED) calls for a $12 billion cut in funding and presents Congress with a series of proposed trade-offs that reduce federal investment in K-12 education and ultimately harm schools and the students they serve.

Let鈥檚 start with the good news (where 鈥榞ood鈥� is relative): Title I, Part A would receive level funding and IDEA would receive a $677 million increase. The Administration also proposes an increase of $677 million for IDEA, Part B (Grants to States), providing a total of $14.9 billion. However, these 鈥渋ncreases鈥� are more performative than functional, given consolidations or cuts to various special education programs that were previously funded at roughly $676 million dollars. Overall, the Administration only proposes increasing funding for the Charter School grant program and proposes level funding for three programs: Impact Aid, Indian Education and the Perkins CTE program.

The budget also proposes a K-12 Simplified Funding Program (K12 SFP) which would 鈥渃onsolidate most currently funded formula and competitive grant programs for elementary and secondary education into a single State formula grant program鈥� to provide flexibility to districts and reduce administrative burden. However, the total for this block grant would be $2 billion, while cutting programs that total more than $6 billion - a significant reduction in resources and investments for K-12 education. 

Most notably, Title II, REAP, Title IV, Parts A & B, and McKinney-Vento are all proposed to be a part of the consolidating block grant鈥� and do not receive any specified funding for FY26. See table below.

Programs eliminated and not included in K-12 SFP:

• Title I, Part, C
• Title III
• Teacher and School Leader Incentive Grants
• Supporting Effective Educator Development (SEED) Grants
• Full-Service Community Schools 

萝卜AV视频will continue to monitor details of the appropriations process, adding details as they become available from both the Administration and Congress. We anticipate an FY26 budget process that focuses on deep cuts the President and Congress were unable to realize in FY25, and today鈥檚 budget details affirm that hunch. However, it is important to note that any final spending package will need bipartisan support to pass the Senate, making these drastic cuts unlikely to be finalized in the current Congress.
