Georgia public schools are set to receive millions in federal funding, part of more than a billion dollars in funding frozen by the Trump Administration after claims that some schools were not meeting educational priorities.
Georgia State Schools Superintendent Richard Woods said the funds are critical to sustaining after-school and summer learning initiatives statewide. Georgia was not among 20 states that filed a lawsuit challenging the funding freeze.
The U.S. Department of Education said Friday it would release $1.3 billion to support programs that serve an estimated 1.4 million students.
