US DOE Shifts Funding to Mental Health, Away from DEI
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
The U.S. Department of Education unveiled over $200 million in new grants, shifting focus from diversity and inclusion to mental health services in schools. The funds, totaling $120 million for rural areas, aim to increase the number of qualified mental health professionals. The department discontinued over 200 existing grants, citing ideological concerns. The new grants will prioritize merit-based hiring and proven interventions, with funds now going directly to state or local education agencies.
