As recently as March, Congress passed a school safety bill that allocated $50 million a year to local school districts, but expressly prohibited the use of the money for firearms.<\/p>\n<p>But the department is eyeing a program in federal education law, the Student Support and Academic Enrichment grants, that makes no mention of prohibiting weapons purchases. That omission would allow the education secretary, Betsy DeVos, to use her discretion to approve or deny any state or district plans to use grant funding for firearms and firearm training, unless Congress clarifies the law or bans such funding through legislative action.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=172516468500&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:comments numposts=\"10\" width=\"425\" publish_feed=\"true\"><\/fb:comments><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Education Department is considering whether to allow states to access federal funding set aside for academic enrichment and student<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":20846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,64,14327],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
