    According to a Google search, “Federal funding accounts for about 10.5% of total public K-12 school funding”

    Probably not an amount worth caving over. The current administration will just use this financing threat to continue to blackmail them on other issues.

      10.5 % would be a MASSIVE loss for a public school system. Anne Arundel co. isnt poor (source: I’m close), but a 10% budget reduction would cause serious harm. Hopefully the ‘caving’ is just saying theyll change the rules but then no one actually follows through.
