Miami-Dade School Board approves closing 9 schools as enrollment falls, charters move in
Miami-Dade voted to close nine schools as enrollment fell by 13,000. Activists warn charter operators could benefit, while leaders cite funding.
Falling enrollment is an ongoing trend in South Florida’s public school districts. Just like Broward County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County Public Schools is trying to “right-size” itself, because state funding is based on the number of students in the classrooms.
The school board on Wednesday voted unanimously to shut down nine schools , and according to activists who demonstrated outside district headquarters, for-profit charter school operators will take advantage of the closures.
