US EditionEducation Dept. withholds funds from Fairfax County schools amid pressure over bathroom policy
The Trump administration is withholding $24 million in federal grants from three large school districts for policies allowing transgender students facility access, risking key educational programs.
- The Trump administration's Office for Civil Rights said New York City Public Schools, Chicago Public Schools, and Fairfax County Public Schools face a combined $8 million loss in MSAP grants after non-compliance claims.
- In letters issued September 16, Craig Trainor, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights , said the districts must stop allowing restroom access matching students’ gender identity by September 24.
- About $15 million for New York City is on the line, with New York City Community School Districts losing $15 million, Chicago Public Schools $5.8 million and Fairfax County Public Schools $3.4 million in MSAP grants.
- Fairfax County Public Schools filed suit Friday, seeking to block the funding freeze as Michelle Reid warned the demands could cost FCPS up to $167 million in federal aid.
- Beginning October 1, the districts will forfeit MSAP grants because Craig Trainor will not certify compliance, and the dispute has spilled into New York City's mayoral campaign after Eric Adams' remarks drew criticism from Zohran Mamdani.
