Jessica Marshall+Follow$208M Mental Health Grants Shake-UpThe Education Department just dropped over $208 million in new mental health grants for schools—right after slashing nearly $1B in funding tied to DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) priorities. Now, 65 recipients (including a bunch of rural schools) are getting cash to hire and keep more school psychologists. The twist? Legal drama is still brewing over the original grant cuts, so stay tuned for more plot twists! #Education #MentalHealthMatters #EducationNews00Share
Michael Petty+FollowSchools Shift Focus: Mental Health Over DEIBig shakeup in education funding! The Department of Education is pouring $208M into school mental health services, especially in rural areas, but is ditching DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) programs. The new grants aim to get more mental health pros into schools and give local leaders more say. The move is all about merit-based hiring and evidence-based help for students—no more funding for programs with racial preferences or DEI certifications. What do you think about this switch? #Education #EducationNews #MentalHealth00Share
