Loudoun County School Board voted against defunding DEIA on Tuesday .

School board member Deana Griffiths proposed to defund DEIA programs in LCPS and move millions of dollars to special education.

Griffiths said she hasn’t seen data that DEI is proven to be effective in student achievement.

At this time, further guidance from federal agencies may not be forthcoming until at least the end of March or beyond.

The majority of federal education funds, including some mentioned this evening , are allocated specifically in statute by Congress and cannot be unilaterally rescinded by executive order.

Concerns about federal funding also appear to be misplaced at this time.
