Forest Glen Teacher Makes Heartfelt Plea to School Board: ‘Please Keep Our School Open’

I am the art teacher at Forest Glen Middle School, and I am writing to you with a heavy heart. I am asking you, from the bottom of my heart, to keep our school open. Becoming a teacher was the hardest and most meaningful thing I have ever done. I was a stay-at-home mom, and the road to the classroom took determination and sacrifice. I began at a charter school teaching Business because they gave me my first chance. I earned and hold FLDOE certifications in Business Education 6-12 and Marketing Education 6-12, but my heart was always set on Art Education.

High school football composite rankings: Who's No. 1 in Week 13?

The 2026 high school football postseason has arrived for the majority of the states. Following a week of little to no movement in the USA TODAY Sports Super 25 rankings , the stakes are higher for some of the nation’s top teams, which are facing win-or-go-home matchups. Entering the playoffs, Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) remains the No. 1 team in the nation in USA TODAY Sports Super 25. However, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, FL) remains No. 1 in the USA TODAY Sports high school football composite rankings. USA TODAY Sports has developed its composite rankings using five different national polls (USA TODAY, MaxPreps, SC Next, HSFB America and Massey). Each is weighted differently to add credibility to the rankings. Here's a look at the USA TODAY Sports high school football composite: Week 12 USA TODAY Sports Composite Rankings .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } (function(){function e(){window.addEventListener(`message`,function(e){if(e.data[`datawrapper-height`]!==void 0){var t=document.querySelectorAll(`iframe`);for(var n in e.data[`datawrapper-height`])for(var r=0,i;i=t[r];r++)if(i.contentWindow===e.source){var a=e.data[`datawrapper-height`][n]+`px`;i.style.height=a}}})}e()})(); This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: High school football composite rankings: Who's No. 1 in Week 13?

University of Miami trustees chairman to lead Byron Donalds' transition team

Republican Governor-elect Byron Donalds has selected Manuel “Manny” Kadre, the chairman of the University of Miami Board of Trustees and CEO of a luxury car dealership chain, to lead his transition team. While the business executive and Republican donor was not a high-profile surrogate of the Donalds campaign, he was spotted at a campaign retreat in Miami Beach in September, according to reporting by Florida Politics , and gave $25,000 to Donalds’ campaign that week. Kadre had also been present at early discussions between Ken Griffin and Gov. Ron DeSantis about funding a Republican primary challenger against Donalds, according to reporting by NBC News last year. Griffin later became Donalds’ biggest campaign donor , contributing $15 million to his political committee. Donalds made Ryan Smith the executive director of his transition team. During the campaign, Smith was the chairman of the Friends of Byron Donalds PAC, which raised over $155 million to usher Donalds to victory last week. In a post-election memo last week, Smith attributed Donalds’ win during a nationwide blue-wave election to Donald Trump’s endorsement of Donalds, his six-to-one fundraising advantage over Democratic candidate David Jolly and the campaign’s massive voter turnout operation.

Miami-Dade district could close 5 more schools. Here's the list

The Miami-Dade Public School District has resumed a process that could potentially close several schools , according to a social media post by Superintendent Rafael Villalobos. The Attendance Boundary Committee released a new list of "targeted" schools — boundary changes are "necessary" for these schools to keep "adequately" accommodating students and programs. Targeted status, according to the committee, "requires" that an attendance boundary recommendation "be developed and implemented for the following school year." Six schools are considered "targeted," five for consolidation and one for conversion: Golden Glades Elementary, which could be consolidated with Carol City Elementary. Myrtle Grove Elementary, which could be consolidated with Carol City Elementary. Carol City Middle, which could be consolidated with Miami Carol City Senior and Lake Stevens Middle. Lorah Park Elementary, which could be consolidated with Earlington Heights Elementary, South Hialeah Elementary and Lincoln Diaz-Balart Hialeah Elementary. Hammocks Middle, which could be consolidated with Felix Varela Senior. Southside Preparatory, which could be converted into a K-12 school. Another 28 schools are listed as "advised," which means that "a boundary change will most probably be required in the upcoming year."
