To authorize funds to compensate New York City public schools for operating and education-related expenses (including mental health and trauma counseling and other appropriate support services), resulting from the terrorist attack on such city on September 11, 2001.

This bill would authorize the use of federal disaster relief funds to reimburse the New York City Board of Education for costs incurred following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. These funds would cover various operational and educational expenses, specifically focusing on providing mental health services, trauma counseling, and support programs for students and staff affected by the tragedy. By repurposing existing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) appropriations, the legislation aims to ensure that the city's public schools have the necessary resources to address the long-term psychological and academic impacts of the attacks on the school community.
