A District-by-District Accounting of the $6.2 billion U.S. Department of Education Has Held Back from Schools [1]
[]
Date: 2025-07
We also examined the potential funding loss by Congressional district. Multiple school districts can overlap with one Congressional district, but by piecing things together—i.e. If a Congressional district includes 30 percent of one school district, we credit 30 percent of that district’s losses to the Congressional district–we can arrive at an estimate of how much schools in each Representative’s district would lose if the U.S. Department of Education refuses to hand over the funds that have been appropriated for these four programs. Table 3 below shows these estimates for every Congressional district for which data was available in 2023. (Recall that there are gaps in the federal data where individual school districts have failed to report revenues for specific grant programs, so all estimates provided are more likely to be underestimates than overestimates for the potential amount of funding at risk.) Use the search box to find your district and see the local impact of this decision to withhold funds.
