Sarah Mervosh reports for the Times:
The Trump administration had been facing growing bipartisan pressure, including from 10 Senate Republicans who signed a rare public letter urging the White House to release the funds.
The money was part of nearly $7 billion in education funding that had been approved by Congress and was set to be released July 1, before the Trump administration abruptly withheld it a day before the deadline.
The money included more than $2 billion to help train and recruit teachers, particularly in low-income areas that often have trouble competing for the most qualified teachers. It also included money for arts and music education in low-income districts, extra help for children learning English and support for children of migrant farmworkers.
