Declining public-school enrollment in Miami, Florida, has spurred the decision to close one elementary school and convert it into an early learning center.
The school board voted for the closure of Broward Estates Elementary School after more than a year of research originally designed to shut down five schools, according to the Miami Herald.
“This process is not just about closing schools – it’s about creating opportunities, meeting the diverse needs of every child and ensuring families feel confident in choosing Broward County Public Schools,” said Superintendent Howard Hepburn during the board meeting. “I want to emphasize that this is just the beginning.”
