Comment on Broward School Board may close schools, rejecting superintendent’s proposal

About eight schools could be considered for closure as soon as 2025, as Broward School Board members decided the superintendent’s plan to restructure a few schools didn’t go far enough to deal with dwindling enrollment. School Board members decided at the end of a five-hour meeting Tuesday night to direct Superintendent Howard Hepburn to bring back options on May 29 for possibly closing seven to eight schools during the 2025-26 year or delaying school closures until the 2026-27 school year.
