Here was what I walked away from the workshop at Cooper City High last night.
I personally came away from the meeting with a sense that this is all about the school board and county monies received for each school in that county. If Apollo, which happens to be the focus at this time, isn’t attracting families to that area to fill the classrooms, then families should not be punished for wanting to live in those communities that have schools that do attract them to the area. I both agree and disagree with Stephen Meltzer we do need to focus on pulling together as one and vigorously lobbying the legislators, school board members and the county commissioners by emails, faxes, phone calls and hand written letters. We need to burn up their phone and fax lines on a weekly if not daily basis.
We must get the legislators to change the Class Size Amendment and the Inter Local Agreement. The portables at Pioneer are not included in the Class Size Amendment and Inter Local Agreement but yet our county and School board have allowed them instead of putting the money for those to better use such as building on to the school. Cooper City High just within the last 3 years has had another wing built and all who go to Pioneer then go on to Cooper City High?? From my notes the School board can extend the deadline from 2015 to 2018 in order to try and avoid this, lets hope that enough of the parents in Broward county show up to the two Nov. meetings and voice our concerns so that we can get their attention. I for one will take my child out of the public school system and either pay for private or I will home school my child. If enough parents commit to doing this then the county will receive less than they receive now. Lets hope they wise up and do what is right.

So what will the boundaries be?
The chart at the bottom of the story has clickable links to pull up maps of the boundaries. If you potentially live in affected areas, review the maps to determine any impact. I don’t know where you live, else I’d guide you to which link to click on. But say you live near Pioneer Middle, or know your kids are scheduled to go there, click the links to pull up maps showing the recommended boundary changes.
However, you alerted me that the links in the chart weren’t working correctly, so I have fixed it. You should be able to click them now.
Thanks much!
