Montgomery County is a small, rural area in the middle of North Carolina. The county has struggled financially for years, and its school district depends on government grants to survive. This year, the Trump administration cut $600 million in grants to teacher-training programs across the country, and Montgomery County’s $21 million grant was included. The Trump administration says the grants were cut because they were used to train teachers and agencies on diversity, equity and inclusion practices.

Host Elahe Izadi speaks with national reporter Ben Brasch about his reporting on Montgomery County’s schools. He shares why some parents and teachers are frustrated by the Trump administration’s seemingly indiscriminate cuts, and why the elimination of the county’s grant affects the school district’s ability to retain and train quality teachers.

Today’s show was produced by Thomas Lu. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick with help from Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter.
