‘Harmful cuts’: Fresno Unified faces $7.1M loss due to federal funding freeze

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Fresno Unified School District officials said they are “deeply outraged” after the Trump administration’s freeze on funding for after-school and summer programs.

The Trump administration announced that they will be witholding over $6 billion in federal grants for after-school and summer programs, English language instruction, adult literacy and more.

On Wednesday, Fresno Unified officials said the move will result in a $7.1 million loss for the school district.

“At Fresno Unified, our commitment to every student remains unwavering,” said Superintendent Misty Her. “As your Superintendent, I will do everything within my power to protect our students and shield them from the consequences of these harmful cuts. We will continue to advocate relentlessly for the funding our students deserve.”

The district says the decision is “threatening vital educational programs,” for which Congress already allocated funds for.
