15 states sue Trump administration to block school mental health funding cuts

Fifteen states are suing the Trump administration over planned cuts to a $1 billion school mental health grant program, which was established after the 2018 Parkland school shooting and later expanded following the 2022 Uvalde shooting. The administration claims the grants conflict with its priorities, including diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, while states argue the cuts violate a court order and will harm students' access to mental health services.
