With the possibility of a federal government shutdown looming on Oct. 1, K-12 schools are unlikely to see major immediate impacts as most federal funding, which comprises less than 10% of their budgets, has already been allocated for the current school year. However, districts receiving Impact Aid and funding for Head Start programs could face immediate disruptions, and a prolonged shutdown may lead to complications in data reporting and federal grant processing, which could affect school finances.
