Education Department to Release Billions In Withheld School Funds
The funding boost arrives just in time as school districts, including Cabarrus, prepare for a new academic year.
The Trump administration will release more than $5.5 billion in frozen federal education funds, ending a weeks-long standoff that sparked legal action, bipartisan criticism, and widespread concern among school leaders across the country — including in Cabarrus County.
This includes $165 million that was intended for schools across North Carolina.
