A Response to Today's Events Regarding the OMB Memorandum Pausing Federal Aid and Grant Funding

A Response to Today's Events

DEC Members and Interested Partners, DEC is aware of the OMB memorandum issued last night about the pause in federal aid and grants. The memo is available here for your information. As of now, there are many questions and very few answers. We are expecting guidance from OSEP later today about implications for the programs under IDEA.


Based on many conversations with our partners today, it is likely there will be several lawsuits filed today challenging the authority of the Administration to implement these provisions.


DEC will continue to follow this and provide updates as these become available.

In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.


DEC is offering two opportunities to join a Special Edition of Coffee Chat tomorrow (Wednesday, January 29th, 2025) at 12:00 PM Eastern and 5:00 PM Eastern. We may not have anything new to share, but we realize that sometimes we need to speak out loud our concerns within our community.
