Trump Administration Requests Supreme Court Intervention on Teacher Training Grants

Background on the Grants

• In February, the Trump administration attempted to terminate 104 of the 109 grants awarded to programs training teachers in underserved schools.
• Following an order from a federal judge in Boston that temporarily blocked the termination, the administration issued minimal notice to grant recipients without providing detailed evidence of DEI involvement.
• The case is part of broader legal disputes concerning the Trump administration's approach to DEI initiatives.

Next Steps

The federal district court has scheduled a hearing for the case on Friday. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has ordered the states involved in the lawsuit to respond by the same day.
