Story by Khaleda Rahman • 1h
New York Attorney General Letitia James is leading a coalition of Democratic state attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to stop it from cutting off access to more than $1 billion in funding to address the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 students.
Newsweek has contacted the White House and the Department of Education for comment via emails sent outside regular business hours.
New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks during a press conference on the Department of Government Efficiency at Manhattan Federal Courthouse on February 14, 2025 in New York City.
The Department of Education notified states on March 28 that it had rescinded access to funds under programs enacted as part of the American Rescue Plan Act under former Democratic President Joe Biden. The department had previously said that states could access the funds through March 2026.
