US appeals court rejects Trump bid to halt teacher preparation grant funding
The U.S. Department of Education must continue funding grants supporting teacher preparation programs in eight Democratic-led states after a federal appeals court on Friday declined to allow President Donald Trump’s administration to cancel them.
The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to pause a lower-court judge’s order directing the Education Department to restore grants it terminated as part of the administration’s efforts to nix diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
