U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez is urging the federal government to reinstate funding for New York City’s magnet schools, claiming the administration’s decision to cancel already-awarded grants was “illegal” and could impact students for years to come.
The Trump administration in September canceled $47 million in federal Magnet School Assistance Program funds after the city missed a deadline set by the federal Department of Education to change its policies on transgender students.
