Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On August 12, 2025, standing in the Seneca Falls High School after Trump’s Department of Education wrongfully ripped away federal grants that support mental health, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer today stood with teachers and mental health professionals to demand the DOE immediately release over $8 million for Rochester-Finger Lakes schools.
With the school year starting later this month, Schumer said the clock is ticking on restoring these grants to ensure students do not lose out on mental health services. He warned that cuts like these disproportionately hurt students in rural districts like Seneca Falls Central School District, which already faces a shortage of mental health providers.
