Orange County (Fla.) district reassures residents about high school plans

Jan. 15, 2008
They promise that a new high school campus in Ocoee will be safe

Orange County (Fla.) school districts leaders are promising a wary public that if they moved the troubled Evans High School from Pine Hills to Ocoee, the new campus would be safe, beautiful and educationally sound. Evans, a persistently failing school in Pine Hills, turns 50 next year and is due for renovations. The district plans to build a $70 million campus three miles west of the existing Evans site. Dozens of nearby residents fear the student body will bring crime and drugs, and many others think that a bigger campus will blight the rural area.
