In addition to today...let's not also forget that yesterday the following took place: 🚨 The Dept. of Ed paused billions in grants for literacy, math, and teacher development while it “reviews” funding. Mind you, the funds were supposed to be released to states on today, July 1st.

Education Department freezes cash for school districts, teacher training, migrant students

Some $5 billion of federal funding is at stake, according to estimates from education advocacy groups.
