VIERA, Florida -- The Brevard County Public Schools will hold a series of meeting to address upcoming school closings and related boundary changes. BPS issued the following statement today:
"As
we have expressed recently to our community, Brevard Public Schools is
facing critical budgetary shortages for capital projects necessary to
maintain its $1.8 billion in facilities, aging buses, and required
technology needs.
As part of the budget reduction planning process, the
Superintendent has recommended to the Board of Education the closure of
Sea Park Elementary, South Lake Elementary, Gardendale Elementary and
Clearlake Middle for the 2013-2014 school-year.
To help explain the
process utilized to make the recommendation, community forums have been
scheduled. At these meetings, an overview will be provided and attendees
will break into small groups to review proposed attendance boundary
changes and provide feedback to refine the final recommendation."
For
individuals who cannot attend a forum, information including details on
the budget and data related to boundaries will be provided on the
District website at: www.brevardschools.org.
