The recent turmoil surrounding the Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education) mental health grants highlights the instability in funding for school mental health programs. After the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration abruptly canceled up to $2bn in grants on January 13, advocacy from educators and bipartisan congressional members led to a swift reversal on January 15. Chris Bucher, a spokesperson for the Wisconsin Department of Education, commented: "The conflicting information creates real stress for the schools, families, and communities who depend on these services." Despite the reinstatement, many states and school districts reported uncertainty regarding their funding status. The grants, which aim to enhance mental health awareness and access to services, received $140m in the 2025 fiscal year. The situation underscores the ongoing challenges in securing consistent mental health support for students.

California
The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against California over Senate Bill 1137, which establishes a 3,200-foot buffer zone between new oil and gas wells and sensitive areas such as homes, schools, and parks. The U.S. Department of Justice claims the law violates federal regulations and hampers energy development, stating it could "knock out" about one-third of federally authorized oil and gas leases in the state. California officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom's office, are prepared to defend the law, emphasizing its role in protecting public health. “The Trump administration just sued California for keeping oil wells away from elementary schools,” said Anthony Martinez, a spokesman for the governor. Environmental groups have condemned the lawsuit, viewing it as an attack on health protections established after years of advocacy. The legal battle reflects ongoing tensions between state and federal energy policies.
