My district will lose 13 million, including about 2 million from the block grant. My concern is that you're here celebrating this, that our country will be meeting fewer children's needs. This block grant consolidates programs that support children experiencing homelessness, students in or returning from carceral facilities, or programs that promote school desegregation. Your agency is counting on the fact that states won't administer programs for all of these students because they'll no longer have the financial incentive or financial means to do so. (02:06–02:17)
