Education Department says it will release billions in grant money withheld
from schools

The Trump administration is releasing billions of dollars in grants to
schools for adult literacy, English language instruction and other
programs, the Education Department said Friday.

President Donald Trump’s administration had withheld more than $6 billion
in funding on July 1, as part of a review to ensure spending aligned with
the White House’s priorities...The release of that money came days after 10
Republican senators sent a letter imploring the administration to allow
frozen education money to be sent to states. Those senators had also called
for the rest of the money to be distributed, including funds for adult
education and teaching English as a second language.
