Trial has begun in a $40 million lawsuit accusing a former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school of ignoring multiple warnings that a 6-year-old student had a gun hours before he shot his teacher. Teacher Abby Zwerner was shot in the hand and chest at a Newport News elementary school in 2023. She spent nearly two weeks in the hospital and required six surgeries. Her lawsuit accuses an ex-school administrator of failing to act after four different people voiced concerns that the student brought a gun to school. Lawyers delivered opening statements in the trial Tuesday.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must release millions in grants meant to address the shortage of mental health workers in schools. Congress funded the grant program after the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The grants aim to help schools hire more counselors, psychologists, and social workers, focusing on rural and underserved areas. The ruling applies only to some grantees in sixteen Democratic-led states that challenged the decision. The Education Department under President Biden initially awarded the grants, prioritizing diversity. The ruling will remain in effect while the case proceeds.
