The Trump administration has announced the discontinuation of $1 billion in funding for school mental health grants, a decision that follows bipartisan support for these programs. Citing conflict of priorities and concerns related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), the administration has moved to cancel these grants, which were originally intended to support mental health services in schools. This cut also affects districts such as La Mesa-Spring Valley, which faces an early loss of mental health funding. The Education Department emphasized the need to shift focus, which has raised concerns among advocates for student mental health.
