More School Closings on the Way in Pinellas County
Last summer there was a scramble as teachers who were displaced after school closings in the district looked for new jobs. Many were accommodated by neighboring districts. Many went into lower-paying positions. It was hard times for all.
And now Pinellas County, in the Tampa Bay Area, has announced they are considering more school closing for next school year.
- Gulf Beaches Elementary in St. Pete Beach
- Kings Highway Elementary in Clearwater
- North Ward Elementary in Clearwater
- Palm Harbor Elementary in Palm Harbor
- Rio Vista Elementary in St. Petersburg
-
They cite declining enrollment and an even tighter budget as the cause.
Last year, the district considered 10 schools closure, but only three got the axe: Riviera Middle School, South Ward Elementary in Clearwater and Largo Elementary.
