Comment on Broward school proposal aims to gain $6.7 million without closing schools

Broward schools’ latest plan to deal with dwindling enrollment may be to compete rather than close. Superintendent Howard Hepburn has dropped his proposals to close three schools in 2025 and to remove the Montessori magnet program from Virginia Shuman Young in Fort Lauderdale, to the relief of those who fought against those changes. His latest proposal would change or reconfigure four schools in hopes of winning back students who have left for charter, private or home school options.
