The Trump administration notified school districts in New York City, Chicago and Fairfax County, Va. on Tuesday that it is prepared to withhold more than $67 million in federal funding for magnet schools over potential civil rights violations. Education Department Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor warned New York City Public Schools Chairperson Gregory Faulkner; Chicago Board of Education President Sean Harden; and Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Michelle Reid that if their school districts don’t come into to compliance with federal law by Friday, the Trump administration will not certify their multi-million dollar magnet school grant applications.
