States Sue to Save School Mental Health Grants | Green Bay News

Wisconsin and 14 other states are locked in a high-stakes legal battle to save federal school mental health grants, arguing the Department of Education’s plan to terminate them is a sneaky workaround of a court order that blocked previous cuts. These grants, expanded after the Uvalde tragedy and recently awarded Wisconsin $10 million, are critical for hiring counselors and psychologists in schools. With a July 24 hearing looming and funding set to vanish by July 31 if the department wins, states are demanding a temporary halt to protect students’ access to vital mental health services. This isn’t just legal theater—it’s about keeping kids supported where they need it most. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
