Mass. A.G. files suit to keep mental health funding in schools
BOSTON (WGGB/WSHM) - Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Campbell is suing the U.S. Department of Education to keep federal mental health money flowing to schools.
Campbell and 14 other state AGs filed a new lawsuit to stop the department from terminating school-based mental health grants at the end of this month. Grants congress approved after a series of deadly school shootings.
The group of AG’S said a federal court has already ruled the Trump Administration can’t cut off this funding, but argues the department is trying to get around that order by calling it a “termination” instead of a “discontinuation.”
