The U.S. Department of Education has asked a federal judge to clarify that an existing injunction does not prevent it from terminating nearly $1bn in school mental health grants, arguing that grant terminations fall under separate legal authority from grant continuation decisions. The department maintains that any future terminations would be lawful and should be challenged, if at all, in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, rather than under the current case. A coalition of 16 states disputes that interpretation, arguing the administration is attempting to achieve through grant terminations what the court has already prohibited through grant discontinuations: ending funding based on the Trump administration’s policy priorities regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. The states say the department has repeatedly delayed funding decisions, creating uncertainty that has already prompted some grant recipients to withdraw voluntarily. The grants support the Mental Health Professional Demonstration Grant Program and the School-Based Mental Health Services Grant Program, which were established after major school shootings to address shortages of school-based mental health professionals. According to the states, the programs have served nearly 775,000 students in their first year, reduced suicide risk by 50% at high-need schools, and improved attendance, behavior, and student engagement.

California
The U.S. Department of Education has rescinded regulations dating back more than 60 years that allowed federal civil rights enforcement based on disparate impact, ending the practice of investigating school policies that disproportionately affect racial or ethnic groups without evidence of intentional discrimination. The change, which aligns with a Trump administration executive order, states that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits only intentional discrimination and that the department will no longer pursue disparate impact claims against federally funded schools. The administration said the move will reduce compliance burdens and give schools greater flexibility in areas such as student discipline without fear of federal enforcement based on statistical disparities. However, more than 60 civil rights and education organizations condemned the decision, arguing it weakens protections for marginalized students, makes discrimination harder to challenge, and removes an important incentive for schools to consider the unintended consequences of their policies. Separately, the department also rescinded civil rights regulations governing career and technical education (CTE) programs, eliminating additional reporting and compliance requirements that officials described as duplicative.
