Schumer demands swift release of over $8 million in federal funding to restore mental health positions in Finger Lakes schools.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Chuck Schumer is urging the U.S. Department of Education to release over $8 million in federal funding that has been blocked, which he claims is crucial for the Rochester-Finger Lakes school districts. This funding is intended to support the hiring of more than 250 mental health professionals for approximately 27,000 students in the region.
Schumer emphasized the urgency of restoring these funds as school starts soon, highlighting concerns about mental health in schools. He stated, "Protecting students’ mental health should not be a partisan issue," referring to the adverse impacts of funding cuts on rural and underserved areas.
The senator's request follows the termination of nearly $20 million in federal grants earlier this year, following changes in federal policy. Schumer noted that without this funding, students would miss out on vital mental health services that are linked to improved academic performance and overall student well-being.
