More funding for school health centers
This bill would authorize $55,000,000 per year for the School-Based Health Centers Grant Program for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. The money would fund grants to school-based health centers and the state or local groups that run those grants. It would replace the prior open-ended authorization for fiscal years 2022–2026 and would take effect upon enactment. If enacted, families with children who use these centers would likely see continued or improved access to health services; this is program funding, not a direct cash payment to households.
