June 27 Governor Albert Bryan Jr. Meets with U.S. Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon in Washington, D.C. U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS — Governor Albert Bryan Jr., following a series of meetings in Washington, D.C., announced today that the U.S. Department of Education has reinstated the extension on the liquidation period for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Education Stabilization Fund grants, restoring access to more than $34 million in vital federal funding for the Virgin Islands. The decision comes just days after Governor Bryan met with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, where he raised concerns about the unintended impact of the department’s previous policy change and emphasized the importance of fairness and continuity in administering ARPA funds across all jurisdictions. “I’m deeply grateful to Secretary McMahon and her team for their openness and willingness to work with us to find a practical solution,” Governor Bryan said. “This outcome reflects the power of collaboration and continued dialogue between the federal government and the territories. It also underscores our shared commitment to ensuring every student has access to safe and modern learning environments.” The department’s original policy change had placed the territory at risk of losing tens of millions in ARPA funds needed to complete essential school modernization and safety projects. Governor Bryan’s intervention ensured that the Virgin Islands was not unfairly penalized and brought national attention to the need for consistent and equitable treatment across all jurisdictions. With the reinstated extension, the Virgin Islands Department of Education can now move forward with high-priority infrastructure projects. These include installing emergency backup generators, upgrading air conditioning systems, and improving school facilities to increase safety, resilience, and functionality. Governor Bryan credited the outcome to his administration’s ongoing federal engagement and the strong relationships his team has built with key congressional leaders and officials within the White House. “This is what leadership looks like. It means being present, making the case, and delivering real results,” the governor said. “We protected $34 million in investments for our students and secured the resources needed to provide safe and modern learning environments. Our administration is focused on getting things done for the people of the Virgin Islands.” TAGS No tags CATEGORIES Uncategorized Previous Next Comments are closed © 2026 Government of the United States Virgin Islands.
