Budget Watch: Federal Edition

Budget Watch: Federal Edition

Every year, the U.S. Congress passes a package of appropriation bills to fund the federal government and its programs. Alabama schools receive between 9% and 30% of their funding from the federal government, supporting programs like Title I, Special Education, and summer and afterschool programs through the US Department of Education (USED). 

The budget process for FY26 began in May 2025 with President Trump’s budget request. In October 2025, we experienced a complete government shutdown when Congress did not pass a budget package. In November 2025, the government reopened through a Continuing Resolution that funded all agencies at last year’s levels through January 2026. The USED’s FY26 budget was passed on February 3, funding the department through September, 2026.We outline below a detailed view of what line items are funded, and how they impact Alabama students.

While budget information for the Office of Postsecondary Education, affecting Alabama’s higher education programs, and the Children and Families Services Programs are also available in the LHHS budget package, we have chosen to focus only on impacts to K-12 education. Check out the budget process for FY26 below.

House Passes FY26 USED Budget; Signed into Law by the President

The US House of Representatives passed the most recent budget package that included the USED, and President Trump signed it into law on February 3. The USED’s budget has been approved through the end of September, 2026, which includes funding for the 2026-2027 school year.

The USED’s budget totals $79 billion for the 2026-2027 school year. This represents an increase of $217 million over FY25. Alabama receives federal funds to support K-12 and higher education through many different line items. The new budget maintains or increases funding for all of the programs that were funded last year. Funding highlights for the USED include:

  • Title I – $18.4 billion, level funded from FY25
  • English language learners – $890 million, level funded
  • Title II-A for Supporting Effective Instruction – $2.2 billion
  • Special Education – $15.5 billion, an increase of $23 million over FY25
  • Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants – $1.4 billion, level funded
  • 21st Century Community Learning Centers – $1.3 billion, level funded
  • Impact Aid – $1.6 billion, an increase of $5 million
  • Full-Service Community Schools – $150 million, level funded
  • Rural Education – $225 million, an increase of $5 million
  • Charter Schools – $500 million
  • Career, Technical, and Adult Education – $2.2 billion
  • Head Start and other child care and preschool programs – $21.5 billion

The budget does not include the Trump Administration’s recommendation to combine many specific funding streams into flexible block grants for states. The bill has language that requires the timely release of formula grant funds, in response to funding freezes that occurred in the summer of 2025, and rejects the recommendation to shutter the Department of Education. Language in the bill states that the Department of Education cannot transfer its funding to any other federal agency.

Senate Budget Package Awaits House Vote: How does the Partial Government Shutdown Impact Alabama Students?

Last week, the US Senate passed a budget package that funds the Department of Education. This budget is a part of a budget package that must be approved by the US House before it can go into effect. The deadline for Congress to pass a budget was January 30, therefore we are currently in a partial government shutdown.

The reason for this shutdown stems from the different agencies that have been packaged together for this budget. The Senate version of the budget package provides full-year funding for most agencies, but only funds the Department of Homeland Security for two weeks – during which time they would like to initiate negotiations around funding for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Trump Administration supports this budget package. The shutdown and upcoming House negotiations are due to the escalating public tensions about ICE operations in Minnesota and across the country.

What does this mean for K-12 education and Alabama students?

Unlike the complete government shutdown in October and November, some agency budgets, including the Department of Agriculture, have been funded. This means the impacts we may see on Alabama students are different from what we experienced in the fall of 2025.

The departments that have not yet been funded will release contingency plans, do only their required functions, furlough a portion of their employees, and pause programs until their budgets are passed. Secretary McMahon will likely release a contingency plan for the USED soon.

The majority of funding for schools for the 2025-2026 school year have already been released. This includes funds for Title I, IDEA, school breakfast and lunch programs, and all forward-funded grants.

There are some potential and critical impacts on Alabama students. Some programs and functions at the USED will be paused until the government shutdown ends: 

  • Head Start programs are funded on a rolling basis, and do not keep reserves. Programs that are set to receive funding during the shutdown may close. 12,548 Alabama children were enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start in 2024.
  • All new grantmaking activities, supporting education from pre-k to higher education, are paused.
  • The Office for Civil Rights’ reviews and investigations are paused.
  • Development and implementation of guidance, technical assistance, and regulatory actions throughout the USED are paused.

While necessary funds will continue to flow, local boards of education are facing uncertainty, especially when it comes to budgeting. The district budget process typically starts around now, and is finalized in early summer for the following school year. Schools in Alabama receive 9-30% of their funding from federal sources, particularly for programs like Title I, Special Education, afterschool programs, and English Language Learners. Uncertainty around these funding sources for next year, especially during budget season, could lead to difficult choices for school boards, the Alabama State Department of Education, and the Alabama Legislature as it considers the FY27 Education Trust Fund budget and the education programs to prioritize across the state.

Thursday, January 22, 2026

On Thursday, January 22, 2026 the House Voted to approve the funding package outlined below:

It now has to go to the Senate, which must vote to approve it before the January 30th deadline to avoid another government shutdown.

House Appropriations Committee Releases USED Budget Bill

On January 20, the House Appropriations Committee released a funding package that included the Labor, HHS, Education (LHHS) budget bill, which funds the Department of Education (USED). The budget must be passed by Congress by January 30th to avoid another government shutdown. The press release accompanying the budget outlines Congress’ rejection of the cuts to federal programs proposed by the Trump Administration’s recommendations, which we outlined in our post below from June 18, 2025.

This budget package includes a total of $79 billion for the USED, which aligns with the Senate’s original budget for FY26. This represents an increase of $217 million over FY25, and is $12 billion over the Trump Administration’s budget request. Alabama receives federal funds to support K-12 and higher education through many different line items in the LHHS budget. In FY24, Alabama received about $2.6 billion for education programs across both state and local levels. The LHHS bill that has been proposed maintains or increases funding for all of the programs that were funded last year. 

Funding highlights for the USED include:

  • Title I – $18.4 billion, level funded from FY25
  • English language learners – $890 million, level funded
  • Title II-A for Supporting Effective Instruction – $2.2 billion
  • Special Education – $15.5 billion, an increase of $23 million over FY25
  • Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants – $1.4 billion, level funded
  • 21st Century Community Learning Centers – $1.3 billion, level funded
  • Impact Aid – $1.6 billion, an increase of $5 million
  • Full-Service Community Schools – $150 million, level funded
  • Rural Education – $225 million, an increase of $5 million
  • Charter Schools – $500 million
  • Career, Technical, and Adult Education – $2.2 billion
  • Head Start and other child care and preschool programs – $21.5 billion

This budget package does not include the Trump Administration’s recommendation to combine many specific funding streams into flexible block grants for states. The bill has language that would require the timely release of formula grant funds, in response to funding freezes that occurred in the summer of 2025, and rejects the recommendation to shutter the Department of Education. Language in the bill states that the Department of Education cannot transfer its funding to any other federal agency.

This budget package still needs to pass both the House and Senate before it can be signed into law by President Trump.

These funding levels would help Alabama’s schools and students continue to improve and create great schools for every child. The full bill package can be read here; The section that funds education begins with Division B on page 156. An explainer document can be read here, with a breakdown of Department of Education line items beginning on page 200. A three-page summary of the LHHS bill can be found here.

Movement on USED Funding for FY26

The government is currently operating under a continuing resolution, which funds the government through the end of January. While Congress has still not approved a budget, there has been some movement and verbal agreements on USED funding, alongside eight other budget proposals that have not passed yet. Congress must approve a budget for the Department of Education and other agencies for the rest of the fiscal year by January 30th to avoid another shutdown.

On December 20, Representative Tom Cole, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, announced an agreement with Senator Susan Collins, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee, on all nine budget proposals. According to Cole, the agreement provides a strong fiscal framework for the FY26 proposals, and allocates less funding than projected in the continuing resolution that expires on January 30.

We will be closely monitoring budgetary movement at the federal level through the end of January, and how those changes may impact Alabama schools, families, and students in the upcoming school year.

The Government Shutdown Ends; USED Funding Secured through January 2026

On November 13th, the 43rd day of the government shutdown, President Trump signed a continuing resolution into law to reopen the government. This budget package funds the U.S. Department of Education and most other agencies through the end of January, 2026 at last year’s funding levels. The Department of Agriculture, FDA, Department of Veterans Affairs, and congressional operations have been funded through the end of the fiscal year, which ends on September 31, 2026. Congress will have to approve a budget for the Department of Education and other agencies for the rest of the fiscal year by January 30th. 

In Alabama, now that the shutdown has ended, SNAP, WIC, and Head Start funds will resume. Healthcare tax credits were not included in the budget package, so the healthcare premiums we see in the Affordable Care Act Marketplace now will remain as they are. The Department of Education will continue to function on last year’s budget, maintaining funding for Title I, Special Education, summer and afterschool funding, and other vital programs for our students through the end of January.

How does the Government Shutdown Impact Alabama Students after November 1?

The U.S. Congress has not passed a budget or a continuing resolution to fund the federal government. One month has passed since the shutdown started on October 1st, and we will start seeing additional impacts on Alabama’s students, families, and schools beginning November 1.

In October, all federal funding for Alabama’s schools was released for the 2025-2026 school year. This includes funding for Title I programs, special education students through IDEA, and grant programs that were awarded over the summer. Programs that were paused include Impact Aid, which provides about $2.5 million to 17 Alabama districts, Head Start, Civil Rights investigations, and new grantmaking activities at the USED.

Some programs that were funded through October will face changes in November. These changes will begin to impact Alabama students, families, and schools.

  • Snap: Benefits were anticipated to be suspended on November 1, according to the Alabama Department of Human Services. On Oct 31, a court order required the Trump Administration to provide funding for SNAP. On Nov 4, the Trump Administration announced that November’s SNAP payments would be partially funded. We do not have information yet on how much partial funding there will be, or when it will be available for SNAP recipients.
    • Recipients are required to continue recertifying their eligibility for the program, but EBT cards will not be funded. This impacts 750,000 Alabamians, and over 224,000 of those are school-aged children.
    • To respond to this suspension of funds, Governor Ivey has released $2 million of Alabama’s emergency funds to go towards food banks across the state. The Alabama Department of Human Resources is redirecting an additional $3 million to the Feeding Alabama food bank network.
    • For more information about how this impacts our state and students, check out the Alabama Daily News’ articles on SNAP’s connection to schools and a call for a special legislative session, and the Alabama Political Reporter’s article on partial SNAP funding.

 

  • WIC: Benefits will be suspended on November 1 until federal funding is provided. This program provides food and health services to mothers and children. This impacts 110,000 Alabamians, including pregnant women, infants, and children.

 

  • Head Start: Programs that were set to renew in October will begin to lose federal funding starting November 1. This impacts 972 slots for Alabama children and 281 early childhood jobs in Alabama.

 

  • Affordable Care Act Marketplace: Open enrollment for healthcare begins on November 1. As a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the government shutdown, healthcare tax credits are expiring. This causes premiums to increase for Alabama families. Over 477,000 Alabamians who are enrolled in healthcare through the marketplace will experience increased premiums.
    • It is estimated that a 40-year-old individual in Alabama making $62,000 annually will see an increase of about $2,000. 
    • A 60-year-old couple in Alabama making $82,000 annually will see an increase of over $20,000.

How does the Government Shutdown Impact Alabama Students?

The U.S. Congress did not pass a budget package or a continuing resolution to fund the government by September 30. This means that as of October 1, the government has shut down. Many of the departments, including the Department of Education, will only do their required functions, furlough a portion of their employees, and pause programs until a budget is passed. What does this mean for K-12 education and Alabama students?

Secretary McMahon released the USED’s contingency plan for the government shutdown on September 28. According to the plan, 2,117 USED employees will be furloughed (mandatory, unpaid leave with the expectation of backpay when they return), and 330 employees will remain at the department to perform necessary functions. The Office of Management and Budget has communicated that reductions in force (RIFs) can be considered for noncritical programs, but the USED has not taken that path at this time.

While some programs will be paused, the majority of funding for schools this year will be released as normal (including Title I and special education through IDEA). Here’s an overview of what will continue at the USED during the government shutdown: 

  • Title I and IDEA funds for the 2025-2026 school year will be released by October 3 as normal.
  • Forward-funded programs, which Congress approved last year for the 2025-2026 school year, should receive their funding by October 3 as normal.
  • School breakfast and lunch programs will continue as normal for at least three months through the USED and the US Department of Agriculture.
  • Grants that the USED awarded over the summer will continue as normal.
  • Student aid disbursements and loan collections will continue as normal.

There are some potential and critical impacts on Alabama students. Some programs and functions at the USED will be paused until the government shutdown ends. Alabama districts will be affected by pauses in Impact Aid and Head Start funding, and local and state leaders may need to make difficult decisions in the face of uncertainty. 

  • Impact Aid funds for the 2025-2026 school year will not be released until the shutdown is over, because they are not forward-funded. Alabama districts received $2.5 million in 2024 to support districts with tax-exempt federal property, such as military owned property, within their boundaries.
    • Autauga County, Daleville City, Enterprise City, Eufaula City, Fairfield City, Huntsville City, Macon County, Madison City, Madison County, Marion County, Opelika City, Ozark City, Perry County, Phenix City, Piedmont City, Russell County, and Sylacauga City Schools received Impact Aid funding last year.
  • Head Start programs are funded on a rolling basis, and do not keep reserves. Programs that are set to receive funding during the shutdown may close. 12,548 Alabama children were enrolled in Head Start and Early Head Start in 2024.
  • Higher Education may face challenges with funding related to research, international students, and data systems that report enrollment, institutional health measures, student loan portfolios, and other measures.
  • All new grantmaking activities, supporting education from pre-k to higher education, are paused.
  • The Office for Civil Rights’ reviews and investigations are paused.
  • Development and implementation of guidance, technical assistance, and regulatory actions throughout the USED are paused.

While necessary funds will continue to flow, with limited staff the USED will not be able to provide the assistance and support they typically provide to states. Local boards of education are facing uncertainty, especially when it comes to forward-planning for next year. There is no certainty around how much funding will be available in the future, which could lead to local boards ending programs in anticipation of less funding. The Alabama State Department of Education will likely need to make decisions that were previously referred to the USED, and as the shutdown continues the SBOE and the Alabama Legislature may face difficult decisions about funding education programs across the state.

Thursday, September 25, 2025

Every year, the U.S. Congress passes a package of appropriation bills to fund the federal government and its programs. Funding for programs like Title I, Special Education, and summer and afterschool programs flows from the US Department of Education (USED). Congress passes the budget for these programs through a budget bill called the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The Administration, Senate, and House of Representatives have all proposed their own versions of the budget, which have major implications for Alabama children. We outline below a detailed view of what funding streams may be affected, and how they may impact Alabama students. For a one-page comparison of the three budgets, click here.

The budget process starts with the President’s budget request, then moves through both chambers of Congress before being signed into law. President Trump’s budget request was introduced to Congress in May. The House and Senate both changed, or marked up, the President’s budget request based on their priorities. Congress now must agree on a budget or a continuing resolution, which is a short-term budget, by October 1, 2025. If a budget is not signed by October 1, the government will shut down.

While budget information for the Office of Postsecondary Education, affecting Alabama’s higher education programs, and Children and Families Services Programs are also available in the LHHS budget package, we have chosen to focus only on impacts to K-12 education. Check out the budget proposals below

U.S. House of Representatives FY26 Education Budget Request

The House of Representatives Appropriations Committee passed their version of the budget out of committee on September 9. The budget request for the USED within this proposal for FY 2026 totals $66.68 billion. This is a $12.05 billion cut from FY 2025, and $21.6 million less than the Trump Administration’s budget request. Next, the full House of Representatives must vote on the budget. For more information, check out the House Appropriation’s summary, press release, and full report.

Title I

Title I funds are directed towards economically disadvantaged students. This budget decreases Title I compared to FY 2025 by 27% or $5 billion, for a total of $13.9 billion. Some funding will travel to local districts to support students from low-income families through Title I-A, but sections B, C, and D will be cut. For reference, here is how much AL received through these sections last year: 

  • Title I-A, AL received $302 million in 2024 for schools with higher percentages of children from low-income families. 
  • Title I-B, AL received $6.2 million in 2024 for State Assessment Grants. 
  • Title I-C, AL received $1.9 million in 2024 for Migrant Education and Special Programs for Migrant Students. 
  • Title I-D, AL received $305k in 2024 for Neglected, Delinquent, and At-Risk Children and Youth.

Special Education (SPED)

SPED funds are allocated to support students with special needs. The House budget provides $15.5 billion to SPED, which is an increase from FY25. The Administration’s budget request would establish a new Special Education Simplified Funding Program, which would modify how states receive their funds and introduce flexibility. The House version does not include this change. In 2024, Alabama received $193 million for SPED in total.

Other Programs

The Administration’s budget request rolled 18 line items into the new Simplified Funding Program (SFP) flexible state grant. In the House budget, these programs continue to exist independently. The House proposal funds the following programs:

The House proposal eliminates the following programs:

U.S. Senate FY26 Education Budget Request

The Senate Appropriations Committee passed their version of the budget out of committee on July 31. The budget request for the USED within this proposal for FY 2026 totals $79 million. This is a $300 million increase from FY 2025. Next, the full Senate must vote on the budget. For more information, check out the Senate Appropriation’s summary, press release, and full report.

This proposal made some changes from the Trump Administration’s budget request. Specifically, it addresses the following initiatives that were requested by the Administration:

  • The Administration’s request includes an intent to close the USED. The Senate’s proposal requires the USED to continue to function and employ as much staff as needed to continue operating.
  • The Administration’s request creates a variety of flexible state grants to replace Title I funding, SPED funding, and specific line items. The Senate’s proposal funds each program individually.
  • The Administration’s request includes intent to shift USED programs to other departments. The Senate’s version continues to maintain these programs under the USED.
  • The Senate’s version requires the timely release of formula grant funds. This comes as a response to the funding freeze a few weeks ago.

Title I

Title I funds are directed towards economically disadvantaged students. This budget increases Title I compared to FY 2025 by $50 million, for a total of $19.15 billion. The increases are specifically for Title I, Parts A, C, and D. This version of the budget keeps Title I-C, which the Administration’s budget would eliminate, and Title I-B, which the Administration’s budget would roll into a state grant. Here are the amounts Alabama received in 2024:

  • Title I-A, AL received $302 million in 2024 for schools with higher percentages of children from low-income families. 
  • Title I-B, AL received $6.2 million in 2024 for State Assessment Grants. 
  • Title I-C, AL received $1.9 million in 2024 for Migrant Education and Special Programs for Migrant Students. 
  • Title I-D, AL received $305k in 2024 for Neglected, Delinquent, and At-Risk Children and Youth.

Special Education (SPED)

SPED funds are directed towards students with special needs. The Senate budget provides $15.5 billion to SPED, which is an increase from FY25. The Administration’s budget request would create a new Special Education Simplified Funding Program, which would change how states receive their funds and add flexibility. The Senate version does not include this change. In 2024, Alabama received $193 million for SPED in total.

Other Programs

This budget maintains or slightly increases most USED programs. The following programs were going to be rolled into the Simplified Funding Program (SFP) flexible state grant in the Administration’s budget request. In the Senate budget, they continue to be their own programs.

The following programs were slated for elimination under the Trump Administration’s budget request. Under the Senate’s proposal, these programs would remain and continue to be funded at FY25 levels or higher.

Wednesday, June 18, 2025

Every year, the U.S. Congress passes a package of appropriation bills to fund the federal government and its programs. This includes the U.S. Department of Education, which supplements state and local funding for K-12 education nationwide. The budget process starts with the President’s budget request, then moves through both chambers of Congress before being signed into law.

Trump Administration Releases FY26 Education Budget Request

This year, President Trump’s education budget request for Fiscal Year 2026, known as the “skinny budget,” reflects the administration’s goal to wind down the US Department of Education. Overall, the budget request for 2026 is $66.7 billion. This is a $12.4 billion or 15.3% reduction below the 2025 budget. The USED budget impacts funding for K-12 schools, higher education, and other educational programs. In addition to the reduction, the request includes a reformation of how funds are allocated to states. These changes would increase flexibility, but there is a lot of uncertainty about how the funds would be allocated to Alabama.

The budget passed the US House, and has moved on to the US Senate for debate. Education Secretary Linda McMahon testified in front of the House Appropriations Committee on May 21, House Committee on Education and Workforce on June 4, and Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related Agencies on June 6. As the budget moves through Congress, we are tracking how these changes might impact Alabama’s K-12 education system.

Title I

Title I funds are directed towards economically disadvantaged students. The budget reduces Title I funding by $701 million in total. Title I-A is maintained, but other programs under Title I are either eliminated or rolled into a new grant to states. We don’t know how much money each state will receive through the grant system. In 2024, Alabama received $302 million for Title I-A, and $6.5 million for the Title I programs rolled into the proposed Simplified Funding Plan (SFP) detailed below. Here are the amounts Alabama received in 2024:

  • Title I-A, for schools with higher percentages of children from low-income families, will be maintained. AL received $302 million in 2024.
  • Title I-B, for State Assessment Grants, will be rolled into the SFP. AL received $6.2 million in 2024.
  • Title I-C, for Migrant Education and Special Programs for Migrant Students, will be eliminated. Information on this funding for AL in 2024 was not available.
  • Title I-D, for Neglected, Delinquent, and At-Risk Children and Youth, will be rolled into the SFP. AL received $305k in 2024.

Special Education (SPED)

SPED funds are directed towards students with special needs. The budget maintains SPED funding overall, but changes how it is allocated to states. Some programs will be maintained, and others will roll into a new Special Education Simplified Funding Program. In 2024, Alabama received $193 million for Special Education in total.

  1. IDEA B, for people with special needs ages 3-21, will be rolled into the Special Education SFP.
  2. IDEA B-619, for special needs Preschool Grants, will be rolled into the Special Education SFP.
  3. IDEA Part C, for Grants for Infants and Families, will be maintained on its own.

Simplified Funding Program (SFP)

This new program rolls 18 programs into one state grant program. Previously, these programs totaled $4.5 billion nationally. The budget for the new SFP is $2 billion. In 2024, Alabama received about $97 million for these 18 programs. We don’t know how much money each state will receive under the SFP. See below for the amounts Alabama received in 2024.

  1. Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grants – $0
  2. Innovative Approaches to Literacy – $3.7 million for Tuscaloosa City Schools over 5 years, starting in 2023. $750K received so far.
  3. Neglected, Delinquent, and At-Risk Children and Youth (Title I-D) – $305K
  4. Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants (Title II-A) – $39.4 million
  5. 21st Century Community Learning Centers (Title IV-B) – $21.4 million for summer and after-school programs.
  6. State Assessments (Title I-B) – $6.2 million
  7. Education for Homeless Children and Youths – $2.1 million
  8. Native Hawaiian Education (ESEA VI-B) – $0
  9. Alaska Native Education (ESEA VA-C) – $0
  10. Rural Education (ESEA V-B) – Information on this funding for AL in 2024 was not available.
  11. Students Support and Academic Enrichment Grants – $22.3 million
  12. American History and Civics Education (ESEA II-B3) – $2 million for Auburn over 5 years, starting in 2023. $733K received so far.
  13. Magnet Schools Assistance (ESEA IV-D) – $0
  14. Arts in Education (ESEA IV-F4) – $0
  15. Javits Gifted and Talented Education (ESEA IV-F4) – $0
  16. Statewide Family Engagement Centers (ESEA IV-E) – $0
  17. School Safety National Activities (ESEA IV-F3) – Information on this funding for AL in 2024 was not available.
  18. Promise Neighborhoods (ESEA IV-F2) – $1 million for United Way of Central Alabama

Eliminated Programs

Some programs have been eliminated from the budget. These grants will not exist under the proposed budget. Alabama received $14.4 million for these programs in 2024. See below for the amounts Alabama received in 2024.

Increased or Maintained Programs

Some programs have been maintained or increased. Alabama received $93 million for these programs in 2024. See below for the amounts Alabama received in 2024.
