On June 30, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education (USED) issued a notice that, due to the change in Administration, it is currently reviewing federal FY 2025 (school year 2025-26) funding decisions for approximately $168,765,433* for the following federal grant programs:
- Title I, Part C (Education of Migratory Children) - $5,356,426*
- Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction) - $67,906,396*
- Title III, Part A (English Language Acquisition) - $19,338,744*
- Title IV, Part A (Student Support and Academic Enrichment) - $37,245,499*
- Title IV, Part B (21st Century Community Learning Centers) - $38,918,368*
*Funding amounts are estimates based on 2024-25 awards.
The USED stated that no Grant Award Notifications (GANs), which includes states’ access to funds, would be issued to states for these programs on July 1, 2025, as originally scheduled, until the federal funding review is complete. While the USED reiterated its commitment to responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars and alignment with the President’s priorities, it has not provided a timeline for final decisions.
As a result, the planning allotments for these grant programs must be temporarily withdrawn since Public School Units cannot apply for or receive funds that have not yet been awarded to the state. If you have any carryover funds from the 2023-24 or 2024-25 school years, you may continue to use them to fund these programs.
Please note that if the USED subsequently releases funding for any of these programs, we will promptly reissue planning allotments and open the applications accordingly.
We understand the challenges this creates for planning and staffing, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we await further guidance from the federal level. We will continue to provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
If you have any questions, please contact your Federal Programs Administrator.
