Congressman Amo Statement on Trump Administration Withholding Education Funds

"Trump's assault on public education, teachers, and working families knows no bounds. By withholding $29 million from Rhode Island and billions in federal education funding already approved by Congress, he's continuing his reckless crusade to dismantle the Department of Education.

I will keep fighting to unlock these funds that support thousands of multilingual learners, afterschool programs, teacher professional development, and adult education in our state because everyone deserves a chance to succeed."
