Maryland and Delaware join lawsuit against DOESalisbury, Md. – Last month, Maryland and Delaware Attorneys joined 13 other attorneys general to prevent the U.S. Department of Education from terminating congressionally approved school-based mental health programs. Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown’s office has said the cuts could cost Maryland schools and universities over $3 million in funding. “Behavioral health need among young people on the Lower Eastern Shore is real and growing, and that rural communities like ours have fewer practitioners to meet it,” a TidalHealth spokesperson said. President of the teachers’ union Delaware State Education Association Tameka Mays echoed the need for school-based supports.
