U.S. Secretary of Education Cardona and U.S. Rep. Wasserman Schultz to Visit High School in Weston Florida, Participate in Roundtable with Broward College Students

On Monday, April 4, U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona and U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz will tour Cypress Bay High School in Weston, Florida, where they will learn more about the school’s career development programs, including the FBI Cyber Stem Academy.

To advance the goal of reimagining traditional educational pathways and improving equitable opportunities for all students, the President's Budget for fiscal year 2023 includes a new $200 million investment in Career-Connected High Schools, an initiative that would support competitive grants to partnerships of local educational agencies, institutions of higher education—including community colleges—and employers.

After the tour, Secretary Cardona and Rep. Wasserman Schultz will participate in a conversation with Broward College students about the educational opportunities, workforce training, and support services offered through Broward UP. Broward College was recently awarded a $30 million grant under the Promise Neighborhoods program which supports the educational and developmental outcomes of youth and helps improve economic mobility in communities
A press gaggle with Secretary Cardona and Rep. Wasserman Schultz will follow.

Please RSVP by emailing press@ed.gov to secure your spot and to receive detailed access directions.
