Based on the search results, here are the key points regarding a U.S. president's ability to cut federal funding for schools:
1. Presidents cannot unilaterally cut federal funding for schools. Any significant changes to education funding would require congressional approval[8].
2. The majority of school funding comes from state and local sources, with federal funding making up a smaller portion[1].
3. Presidents can propose budget cuts to education, but Congress ultimately decides on appropriations. Historically, Congress has often increased education funding even when presidents proposed cuts[4].
4. Some specific federal education programs, like Title I for low-income students, have bipartisan support and are unlikely to be eliminated entirely[4].
5. A president could potentially use executive actions to limit the reach of the Department of Education in other ways, such as eliminating or moving programs, removing staff, or proposing tighter budgets[6].
6. Completely dismantling the Department of Education, as Trump has proposed, would require an act of Congress and is considered unlikely by many observers[6].
7. Presidents can use threats of funding cuts as political pressure, but actually withholding allocated funds is legally challenging[2][7].
In summary, while presidents can influence education policy and propose budget changes, they cannot unilaterally cut federal funding for schools without congressional approval. The complex system of education funding and bipartisan support for many programs make dramatic cuts difficult to implement.
