flag Iowa gets federal waiver to pool education funds, cutting bureaucracy and saving $8M.

flag The Trump administration has approved Iowa’s first-of-its-kind waiver, allowing the state to consolidate $9.5 million in federal education funds across four programs into a single, flexible pool with fewer restrictions. flag The move, effective through September 2028, aims to reduce compliance burdens and save an estimated $8 million in administrative costs, freeing resources for classroom needs like teacher hiring and literacy programs. flag While the waiver does not affect Title I funding for low-income students, it reflects a broader federal push to shift education decision-making to states. flag Indiana and Kansas have applied for similar waivers, and the administration has proposed consolidating most federal education funding into a block grant. flag Critics warn the changes could undermine support for vulnerable students, while officials say the plan aligns with existing law and promotes state autonomy.
