The Trump administration was expected to release nearly $13 million to Colorado schools Monday, but the state is still waiting.
—
Some Colorado school districts are planning to dip into reserves to pay staff and keep programs going next school year while others are in a holding pattern weeks before school opens, waiting to see if the federal government will release millions of dollars in frozen federal funds.
The Trump administration was expected to release nearly $13 million to Colorado schools Monday, a partial reversal of a decision to freeze $76 million in federal grants. That means public school children will still have access to before and after-school programs next year through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant.
