Applaud School Districts for Fighting Trump’s Funding Freeze

A coalition of school districts — including Alaska’s largest — is taking bold action to protect students, families, and teachers across the country.

These districts, along with advocacy groups and the American Federation of Teachers, have sued the Trump administration over its reckless freeze on $6 billion in congressionally approved education funding. This money supports critical programs like English language learning, teacher development, and after-school care.

The funding pause has already forced schools to consider laying off staff and cutting programs students rely on every day. But these brave school leaders aren’t backing down. Their lawsuit argues that the Trump administration’s actions are unconstitutional and violate federal laws meant to safeguard education funding from political overreach.

Add your name to applaud these school districts for standing up for students, educators, and communities — and fighting back against this dangerous attack on public education.
