Proposal could raise Broward school closures from 10 to 26

The proposal

A proposal would expand the number of Broward schools considered for closure from 10 to 26. That would add 16 schools to the list under consideration.

The proposal concerns school closures in Broward County. It does not itself establish that all 26 schools will close.

What happens next

The proposal’s effect on individual schools, including which campuses are involved and when a decision could be made, has not been established. Any final action would determine whether the number of closures changes from the current figure of 10.

Why the number matters

Moving from 10 schools to 26 would broaden the scope of the closure discussion across Broward schools. Families and staff would need the district’s final list and decision schedule to know which campuses could be affected.
