GOP consistently cuts mental health investments ↗
The mental health of our children is on everyone’s mind, including school leaders. That’s why 10 rural districts and charter schools jumped at the chance to apply for mental health support through Idaho’s Rural Health Transformation Program. The plans included counseling, telehealth, and behavioral health coordinators to help students and families connect with care. Their work was wasted when a Republican-only interim committee voted to shut down the opportunity and redirect $1.2 million.
