Possible cuts. Decisions not yet made. Could lose.

Let's see what happens first before you melt.

President Trump already approved this funding when he signed it into federal law. What oversight was missing? Do you know how federal grants work?

it’s in their purview to review the grants even if the funding was signed into law.

Also under review are $2 billion in grants for teachers’ professional development and efforts to reduce class size; $1 billion for academic enrichment grants, often used for science and math education and accelerated learning; $890 million for students who are learning English; $376 million to educate the children of migrant workers; and $715 million to teach adults how to read.


Billions in “teacher development” and programs for illegal aliens here that needs to be cut

Exactly. Why should my taxes fund schools in other states?

Specifically what is inaccurate about what I posted?


Your post implies admin47 is gutting education in the gret stet of Louisiana...

In reality, it is reviewing grants associated with outside of school time care and certain training.

Reviewing grants.. not cutting them, not gutting them... reviewing them.

Like most government spending, completely unnecessary.

I wonder why Congress and President Trump thought teachers should be trained.

What is the timeline for this review?

Silly me for assuming President Trump reviewed the grants before he signed them into federal law.

We don't need to own you, you're side's deprecating attitude of everything outside your ideology will implode on itself soon enough.

Ask your president who signed this into law.

The gnashing of teeth is a clear indication that reviewing is warranted. They know what will be found.

No, no, no!!!

It's automatic doom and gloom for the kids who thrive on the marvelous public education system in the great state of Louisiana!

What about the children?!?!

You don’t find it strange at all that DJT signed this into law only to freeze his own approved funding? Must be more of that 9-D checkers.
