The 2026-27 Budget: K-12 Proposals

Feb 19, 2026 - The administration estimates the cost of providing grants to new community schools would be $800  million initially, assuming every eligible school receives funding in the budget year. During the first few years of implementation, the cost would be less than $1  billion because many of the current grantees still have one ‑time implementation funds available from prior ‑year allocations.
