NPR Reports on Administrative Hurdles in Federal Grant Distribution
What happened
NPR reported on recent changes made by the U.S. Department of Education regarding grant distribution. The report featured conversations with five anonymous education workers who spoke about the administration's promises to both dismantle the Department and ensure funding for students. The workers stated that the ongoing changes are making the process of getting grant money to vulnerable students harder and less efficient. An example cited was when a smaller grant shifted to the Labor Department system, causing several states to receive their money months late.
