School Board Tries to Relieve Overcrowding

School Board Tries to Relieve Overcrowding This week the Sun-Sentinel released an article stating that, the Broward County School Board is recommending a stop-gap measure, good through 2018 that would "help relieve overcrowded schools." Committee members stated that the school district should be allowed to count portable classrooms to help follow growth management rules. The Legislature in 2005 required school districts to work with local governments to set their own capacity guidelines. The article stated, "Now it's up to the School Board, Broward County Commission and 75 percent of cities representing at least half the county's population to sign off on the proposal. Unless the growth measurement is changed, the district faces a domino of boundary changes and enraged parents, sending students from crowded western schools to campuses in the north and east that have more room."
