The U.S. Department of Education notified multiple Full-Service Community Schools grantees this week that ongoing five-year awards will not be continued, effectively canceling tens of millions in expected funding two weeks before the next disbursement. The move affects projects that supply in-school social services, housing and health supports and follows similar non-continuation letters issued across nearly 20 federal education programs. Acting office official Murray Bessette framed the terminations as misaligned with the administration’s policy agenda or federal civil-rights law; recipients were given a short window to appeal to Assistant Secretary Kirsten Baesler. Education advocates warn the cuts will halt at least a dozen projects supporting low-income districts and threaten planned Promise Neighborhoods work. For higher education institutions that partner with K–12 systems on community-school models, the withdrawals create immediate operational and partnership risks, and they complicate colleges’ role in local social-service delivery. Campus leaders and system procurement teams will now need contingency plans if federal pass-through funding to university-led community programs dries up.
