Colorado leaders interact
The Education Association in Colorado said on July 2 in A. JointThe programs that could be affected by the blocking of federal funds included teaching migrants and supporting effective education in the English and language.
In a statement submitted by the President of CEA, in a statement submitted by Fox31, Kevin Fik said:
“Today’s announcement that the Trump administration has recently released nearly $ 6.8 billion in education funds from K to 12 – including $ 70 million allocated to Colorado – late for a long time.” “These are not new resources; they are dollars from which Congress has already benefited and that the educational areas depend on the support of our most vulnerable students. The delay caused weeks of uncertainty for English language learners, immigrant students, teachers in training, post -school programs, and more. School leaders faced impossible budget decisions during families and teachers to breathe.”
Fox31 also received a statement from Colorado Jared Police after the return of the federal financing that was returned:
“Today, all the financing of the education detained from the Trump administration has been returned to our classroom, where this was all the time. While I was overwhelmed, this funding has been returned to our students, this uncertainty created great chaos for families and schools with the academic year just weeks away,” Police said.
At the beginning of July, several states, including Colorado, had filed a lawsuit for blocking money.
