Body
Request Action:
Approve a Resolution opposing the Broward County School Board's proposal to repurpose/close Broward Estates Elementary School and sent its students to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Montessori Academy.
Need Summary Explanation/ Background:
Broward County School Board is considering closing, repurposing, and/or combining several schools in Broward County due to low enrollment, including Broward Estates Elementary School. Under the new repurposing plan, the Broward School Board has directed the Superintendent to change Broward Estates Elementary School, located in Lauderhill, into a full-service learning center and current students at Broward Estates Elementary would be absorbed in Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Montessori Academy.
Many residents believe that the plan to repurpose Broward Estates Elementary School will have negative impacts on the learning environment of students in Lauderhill and are not in favor of the repurpose plan due to the negative impacts the potential change would have on their neighborhoods and children.
