Public schools that run on-site health clinics for students would keep receiving federal grant money under this bill. These school-based health centers provide medical, dental, and mental health services to children, often filling gaps in areas where families lack easy access to a doctor. The current funding authorization, which covered 2022 through 2026, is replaced with a fixed $55,000,000 per year for 2027 through 2031. Students and families who rely on these campus clinics for checkups, vaccinations, and other care are the ones affected by whether this funding continues.
