The office of Nevada's Attorney General has announced that a suit that AG Aaron Ford joined regarding education funding has resulted in a court order.
More specifically, the court order will force the Trump administration to release states' access to Department of Education programs supporting low-income and unhoused students.
The order also releases funding that would go to other services that address the long-term affects of the COVID pandemic on school-aged children.
According to a release from AG Ford's office, the original suit was filed on April 10 - Ford teamed up with attorneys general from 15 other states and the Governor of Pennsylvania in suing the Trump administration for ending access to over $1 billion in grants from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
The Department of Education had previously determined that the funds would be accessible through March 2026.
AG Ford and the other members of the coalition argued that the termination of the states' access to those funds is causing a budget gap that hurts students and teachers.
The Attorney General was joined by attorneys general from Arizona, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and the District of Columbia.
