Trump’s budget would abolish funding for English learners, adult ed, teacher recruitment
The president’s initial budget for fiscal 2025 preserves Title I and funding for students with disabilities but eviscerates other decades-old programs for underserved students.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

As Trump moves forward with plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, critical federal programs may be on the chopping block. See how much your state could lose—in IDEA and Title I funding, Pell Grants, and career and technical education grants—if Trump shutters the dept.
