AG Bonta, AG Campbell, and AG Davenport co-led a coalition of 5 AGs and secured a final court order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts finding the Trump Administration’s termination of grant funding for K-12 teacher preparation programs unlawful. Beginning in February 2025, California institutions received letters purporting to terminate grants totaling at least $148 million in critical funding. These programs are designed to create a pipeline for teachers serving rural and urban communities and teaching harder-to-fill positions.

“Since Day One, the Trump Administration has pursued an anti-education agenda, repeatedly attempting to slash funding to undermine teacher training, student mental health, classroom technology, and more. Once again, a court said no. There is nothing more important that our students’ educational future — and their success relies on ensuring we’re continuing to train up the teachers of tomorrow.”  – AG Bonta
