New York City secures federal funds for magnet schools, ending a dispute with the Trump administration over transgender student policies. The citys policies, which allow students to use bathrooms aligning with their gender identities, were initially withheld $35 million in funding. However, a smaller sum of $12 million was released for this school year, impacting 19 magnet schools and 7,700 students. The citys legal team continues to work towards securing the remaining funds, while the Trump administration argues the policies violate Title Nine, which prohibits sex-based discrimination.
