To date, Title III ESSA appropriations for FY2025 have not been communicated, either to the Committees on Appropriations or to the State Education Agencies, whose fiscal year begins 1 July 2025. As level-funded in the Continuing Resolution, the supplementary appropriation is $890 million. Over 5 million English learners, their educators, schools, families, and communities depend upon this funding, which is forward funded for schools' and states' fiscal years which begin 1 July 2025.

To date, Title II of WIOA, the Adult Education Family Literacy Act, funding the Integrated English Language and Civics Education (IELCE) has not been allocated to the States, an amount of $85 million. With 16% of the adult education participants in IELCE programs being English learners authorized for work in the United States, the U.S. Department of Education is required to release these funds, level-funded in the Continuing Resolution.

Other unallocated programs for FY25 include:

Title I, C: State Agency Program – Migrant Education – $375.6 million
Title II-A: Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants -- $2.19 billion
Title IV-B: 21st Century Community Learning Centers -- $1.33 billion

With the Trump administration suggesting significant changes to federal education funding, some programs are left in limbo.
