These grants, which distributed over $250 million nationwide last year—including $11 million to California schools—were designed to close critical gaps in student mental health support. Despite a federal court already ruling the Department’s previous attempt to cut these grants illegal, they’re trying again. The attorneys general are not only suing but also demanding a preliminary injunction to freeze the cuts while the case moves forward, ensuring students don’t lose access to these services. Bonta insists Congress intended these programs to be available nationwide—and he’s determined to fight to keep them alive.
