New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after a federal judge largely granted her motion for a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from unlawfully discontinuing federal funding for school-based mental health programs:

“Every student deserves access to mental health care, no matter who they are or where they live. This order is a victory for our young people, and for every educator working to keep our schools safe and supportive. There is no reason to strip funding from critical programs that help students learn, heal, and thrive. I am relieved to see this funding restored. I will continue fighting to ensure our children’s health and well-being are protected.”
