The U.S. Department of Education has halted funding to grant programs that serve low-income students.
It’s a move that could cost Miami-Dade Public Schools more than $45 million in the upcoming school year. The federal agency also terminated a more than $9 million grant to Miami-Dade.
According to the budget summary, the elimination of these programs is expected to save taxpayers over $2 billion in 2026.
