SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) - Springfield Public Schools will lose out on tens of millions of dollars as the Trump administration cuts federal funding to K-12 education in Massachusetts. Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno said the loss of funding will not impact education services to the city's studen ts, but he feels like the city is being punished and he won't give up without a fight. Trump administration cuts $106M in funding for schools in Massachusetts "How do we not continue to keep our kids at the center, when right now, this is the most important time to keep it centered," said LaTonia Monroe Naylor, a Springfield school committee member. Naylor has spent her whole life in Springfield. Her children are the products of Springfield public schools. But now, the district stands to lose $47,357,654 after the Trump Administration terminated federal education funding. "If I remember correctly, President Trump indicated that we got to get our kids back and teachers back," said Mayor Sarno. "That's exactly what I did here and now I'm going to be punished for that." Mayor Sarno's finance and facility management team will work with the Springfield school system to fight for a fair share. "If there's an issue or if there's a way to be more efficient and effective, if there's fraud, I get it. But that's not in this case here," Sarno said. "Who are you affecting? You're affecting the students and teachers of the city of Springfield." The Springfield School committee will meet next Tuesday to further discuss the budget cuts.That meeting will be open to the public.
