Broward's path (psychologist advancement and training hub) forward

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the School District of Broward County, Florida, $1,028,780 on January 1, 2026, to support Broward's PATH (Psychologist Advancement and Training Hub) Forward under the School Safety National Activities program (CFDA 84.184). The award funds mental health professional training and development activities designed to address the shortage of credentialed school-based mental health services providers, specifically school psychologists, in high-need local educational agencies. Performance runs through December 31, 2026, at the district's Fort Lauderdale, Florida location. School Safety National Activities supports improvements to student safety and well-being during and after the school day; the Mental Health Services Professional Demonstration Grants component of the program specifically targets the credentialing gap in school-based mental health services delivery in underserved districts. The School District of Broward County, operating as the Treasurer's Office division, serves as the prime recipient and administers the award.
