TRUMP ADMINISTRATION YANKS FUNDS FROM DOZENS OF SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS

The U.S. Department of Education is canceling millions of dollars in grants for special education teacher training, parent resource centers and more saying that they don’t align with Trump administration priorities.

The agency’s Office of Special Education Programs terminated grants for 25 programs funded under Part D of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The money, totaling more than $14.8 million, was for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 and was expected by state education departments, nonprofits, universities and other entities across 16 states.
