The Department of Government Efficiency, better known as DOGE, terminated funding for more than 1,000 AmeriCorps Programs nationwide. Public Education Foundation President Dan Challener says this includes the local public education foundation teacher residency program, Project Inspire. Challener says the news came Monday afternoon with no specific reason why. “We're just shocked that a thousand programs, 35,000 people, were told to not come back and continue their work in their communities with less than five hours' notice,” said Challener
