Miami, FL – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) applauded the Department of Education’s announcement that it will make available to the Broward County School District (BCPS) $1 million for education-related services for schools that have had their learning environment disrupted by the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The announcement comes after Rubio, Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Congressman Ted Deutch (D-FL) urged Secretary DeVos to expedite the review of Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) grants for Broward County.
 
“As the Broward County community and the rest of Florida continues to recover from the Parkland tragedy, we must ensure they receive the resources they need. I applaud Secretary DeVos for approving this grant and urge the Administration to expeditiously review current and future requests related to this tragedy during this community’s difficult time.”
