In February, AmeriCorps sent a directive to SFUSD and other recipients of their grants ordering that all funding would be revoked, unless grantees abided by some of the Trump administration’s executive orders.
Specifically those regarding cuts to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, as well as ceasing the discussion of gender identity and climate change.
AmeriCorps is a federal agency that funds service programs aimed at addressing challenges in disadvantaged communities across the country.
The San Francisco Standard reported that an annual grant of nearly $670,000 was being withheld from SFUSD.
