The “Redefining Broward County Public Schools” initiative officially took shape Wednesday.
After a lengthy discussion and much public input, the school board voted in favor of superintendent Howard Hepburn’s plan, which closes one school, the lowest enrolled school in the district. It’s a far cry from the original mandate, which was to shut down at least five schools to deal with a massive under-enrollment situation.
“What we have ignored today is this,” said board member Dr. Allen Zeman during the meeting, as he held up a chart showing 23 years of consistent, declining enrollment.
