Rice is issuing the following statement:

“It was good to see the White House rescission of the federal Office of Management and Budget order to freeze federal grants and loans, an order that sparked alarm and confusion in Michigan and other parts of the country. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) will remain vigilant with its colleague agencies across state government to protect resources that serve children, families, and educators across our great state.”

Yesterday, MDE and other state agencies had worked with Attorney General Dana Nessel and the Department of the Attorney General to join a 22-state lawsuit that opposed the pause in federal grants and loans.
