flag Over $4M in federal grants for Connecticut’s community schools were canceled, cutting vital services for 20,000 students.

flag Over $4 million in federal grants for Connecticut’s Full-Service Community Schools were canceled in December 2025, disrupting vital services like mental health support, meals, and after-school programs for about 20,000 students in New Haven, Hartford, and Waterbury. flag The Trump administration ended funding for 19 such programs nationwide, citing concerns over language in grant applications related to racial equity and trauma-informed care, though the Department of Education did not claim the programs were ineffective. flag Officials, including U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, called the move illegal and politically motivated, urging reinstatement. flag No alternative funding has been secured, leaving families without critical support. flag The American Federation of Teachers has sued, and state leaders are pushing for emergency state funding to fill the gap.
