According to new analysis, the Department of Education is withholding billions of funds to public schools across the country, including more than $34 million in grants appropriated to Florida’s 27th Congressional District.
Without these funds, schools in María Elvira Salazar’s district may not be able to hire new teachers, train educators, or provide affordable after-school care for working families.
As Salazar celebrates her vote to rip food off of Florida children’s tables, she refuses to lift a finger to ensure that students and working families have the support and resources they need.
DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“María Elvira Salazar is apparently satisfied to let this administration play political football with Florida children’s futures. If she can’t stand up and demand the release of more than $34 million for her district’s students that Congress has already approved then what is she even doing there?”
