The White House office overseeing federal spending is withholding more than $2 billion congressionally approved for K–12 and higher education programs while the Office of Management and Budget delays apportionment into agency accounts. Education Week reviewed publicly available apportionment documents and found limited access to current-year funds for many competitive grant programs. Among the line items still not fully apportioned are education research, teacher preparation and training, community schools initiatives, and magnet schools funding. While some observers expect the funds eventually to reach recipients later this year, the apportionment delays raise the possibility of delayed competitions and disrupted project timelines. The uncertainty is particularly consequential for colleges and consortia planning application and implementation schedules tied to federal grant cycles.
