Pinellas County (Fla.) district looks at closing some schools
The Pinellas County (Fla.) School Board has authorized superintendent Clayton Wilcox to start choosing schools he would close as part of a push to reorganize the system. Wilcox will give the board his recommendations next month. The district is experiencing enrollment declines that are expected to continue for years. The likely candidates for closing would be schools that are older, have low enrollment or lie in flood-prone areas of the county.
