Two weeks after Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced that he would join a multi-state lawsuit to reclaim federal grants for education that was withheld by the Trump administration, that money is coming back to Pennsylvania.
In a post on his Facebook Page, Governor Shapiro announced that every dollar of the $230 million that was “unlawfully withheld from Pennsylvania Schools will be returned to us.” He said that the money was critical for school districts so they can meet budgets, train teachers, provide afterschool programs and more.
Pennsylvania’s $230 million is part of $5 billion in frozen grants released by the US Education Department.
