According to K-12 Dive, the Trump Administration’s FY 2026 proposed budget would turn Title I and IDEA into single, separate grants, zero out key teacher grants, and add $60 million for charter schools.

The deep cuts would hit programs meant to ensure equitable access to education for underserved students and to protect their civil rights. Also, though maintained at current funding levels, Title I and special education programs would be reorganized into separate single grants aimed at letting states spend the money as they see fit.

Among the cuts are the following:
-All $70 million for Teacher Quality Partnerships grant, often used to diversify the teacher workforce.
-All $7 million for Equity Assistance Centers, established as part of desegregation efforts.
-All $890 million for English Language Acquisition.
-A $49 million, or 35%, reduction for the Office for Civil Rights. 

At the same time, Trump’s budget would boost funding for charter schools by $60 million.
