A federal judge in Boston ruled against the Trump administration's planned cuts to teacher training funding, which could severely impact programs aimed at alleviating a teacher shortage. The judge agreed with eight states seeking a temporary restraining order, noting that the abrupt cuts violated administrative law and posed risks to educational programs. The canceled programs, crucial for teacher retention and effectiveness, were dismissed by the administration as 'woke' and unnecessary. The decision underscores concerns around federal education policy changes and their effects on state education efforts.
The record shows that if I were to deny the TRO, dozens of programs upon which public schools, public universities, students, teachers, and faculty rely will be gutted.
The plaintiffs argued the federal Education Department abruptly ended two programs - the Teacher Quality Partnership and Supporting Effective Educator Development - without notice in February.
