New Study Projects Major Cuts in Federal Funding for Schools

Budget cuts to the US Dept of Education

Vince Conti

President Trump has proposed a budget that would significantly reduce federal funds for public education.

If it’s adopted intact, K-12 funding would be cut $4.5 billion for fiscal 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The budget would also change the nature of Title 1 and special education assistance, making them more like block grants to states, giving states greater flexibility to decide how to use the money.
