Education advocates bite their nails like Government closure begins.
Emergency plan was developed to the Education Department, where 95 percent of its employees were subjected, regardless of the Federal Student Aid Office. Most of the appointed financing will continue during the summer and other money that will be issued on Wednesday, creating some pillows for schools.
But tax -exempt facilities such as the reservations of indigenous Americans will feel immediately influenced, and others will be close.
In its plan, the administration has developed services that will continue, such as the disbursement of students ’assistance, the financing of the first address, which goes to the troubled schools, and the law of individuals with disabilities.
But the new grant activity will end, civil rights investigations will be conducted to stop, and other organizational procedures or directive will stop until the government will reopen.
However, this plan only exists for a week; Close longer than that requires reconsidering it. The longest government closure in the past few decades, which came during President Trump’s first term, was 35 days.
“We do not expect any direct impact on countries or schools given the amount of money that has already been allocated. The administration has indicated that it will continue to move forward with the commitment of funds that are usually binding on October 1,” said Christie Wolf, director of K-12 Policy at the Political Policy Center.
Some schools will be affected by helping to influence immediately, such as these areas on military bases or the reservations of the original America, as funding comes mostly from the federal government instead of government or local taxes.
Wolf said that the influence across the country will differ according to the educational region and what federal programs are dependent on.
The defenders were calling a warning before the deadline for midnight financing on Tuesday.
Kate Terrenezie said that immigrant students “expect Trump to use the closure, and that the Republicans use the closure as only another tool to do what they are trying to do throughout the year, including dismantling the Ministry of Education, English language learners’ reduction programs, migrant students, and community schools for young people at work.
If the Republicans come to the table and negotiate, we will be able to overcome this matter and we do not have both education and health care for millions there and we can be at risk at the present time. “
Democrats in health care cases have dug in the battle of financing, in an attempt to reflect medical care discounts and expand Obamacare benefits that are scheduled to end, while Republicans insisted on a clean continuous decision, which exceeded the House of Representatives but has no necessary votes in the upper room without supporting the minority.
“This is now sitting at the Senate Office,” said the majority leader of the Senate John Thun (RS.D.). ))
This is not the first time that higher education in higher education has been funded in Trump’s policy battles.
Over the summer, the stopping of $ 7 billion in the post -school school was temporarily stopped, prepared for teachers, English language learning programs and adults, which resulted in sending panic across the country. The financing was It was finally released But not without some activities for students who temporarily close.
Higher education institutions also witnessed Temporary dollars stop After running for Trump, who warned that his administration could seek more cuts.
In the background of this funding, Brox is related to Trump’s goal of eliminating the education department, especially since the administration is looking to use the closure as a motivation for More permanent layoffs.
As with K-12 schools, the risk of higher education financing grows while continuing any closure, while international students’ applications may not be processed quickly.
It can also delay Student loan system repair This was issued earlier this year by Republicans.
