The Volusia County (Fla.) School Board will close seven schools over
three years in an attempt to avert a budget crisis. Board members say they have
no choice because they are being "held hostage" by a lack of state funding. The
district will close Bonner Elementary, Boston Avenue, Samsula
Elementary and Seville Public at the end of the year. Burns-Oak
Hill will close in 2009-10, followed by Starke Elementary in 2010-11
and Holly Hill Middle in 2011-12. Click here to read
