From Education Voters of Pennsylvania:
"Late on Friday afternoon, the US Education Department announced that it will be releasing all federal funding that had been withheld by the Trump Administration.
These funds—critical for adult education, English language instruction, and after-school programs—had been withheld pending a political review. Their release comes after bipartisan outcry, with lawmakers and educators warning the freeze would devastate services for students and families nationwide."

“A survey by the National Assessment of Educational Progress that began in 1984 and was most recently conducted in late 2019 and early 2020 asked U.S. kids ages 9 and 13 whether they read for fun almost every day. In this most recent survey, 42 percent of 9-year-olds said they read almost daily for fun, compared to 53 percent in both 2012 and 1984. Only 17 percent of 13-year-olds said they read almost daily for fun, compared to 27 percent in 2012 and 35 percent in 1984.
This news comes as students’ performance on national reading assessments continues to drop.”
