Miami-Dade could close five more schools. Here's what to know

A newly released list of Miami-Dade public schools that could very soon be closed is significantly shorter than the one the district posted in August. The latest list , posted by the Attendance Boundary Committee this week, marks five schools as “targeted” for potential closure and a sixth for expansion in the near future. The earlier plan, which was paused by the superintendent, would have made changes at 12 schools. The five schools on the list for possible closure are Golden Glades Elementary, Myrtle Grove Elementary, Carol City Middle, Lorah Park Elementary and Hammocks Middle. Southside Preparatory Academy, currently a K-8, is listed as “targeted” for a K-12 conversion. Students at the closing schools would be absorbed by nearby schools — a process also referred to as “consolidation” by the district — two of which could be converted from high schools to 6-12. Hammocks Middle students would be rerouted to Felix Varela High, which would become a 6-12 campus. Some students from Carol City Middle would also be sent to Carol City High, which would also convert to a school serving grades 6 though 12. Of those five schools, all were more than half-empty, according to a state calculation of

Nationally ranked Florida high school football team has season ended by FHSAA ruling

Miami Carol City's football season has officially come to an end. The Florida High School Athletic Association denied the school's appeal of its postseason ban Sunday, Nov. 1, upholding the punishment handed down following a postgame brawl with Grayson (GA) earlier this season. The decision means the Chiefs will be ineligible to compete in the 2026 Florida high school football playoffs, including the inaugural Open Division, despite finishing the regular season with a 7-3 record. The appeal denial comes five days before the FHSAA is scheduled to announce its postseason brackets on Friday, Nov. 6. Carol City had been among the state's top-ranked programs and was projected to qualify for the eight-team Open Division field. According to the latest MaxPreps rankings, the Chiefs were ranked No. 6 in the state among projected Open Division qualifiers. With the appeal denied, Carol City will not have an opportunity to compete for any type of championship this season. The original sanctions were announced Oct. 7 after the FHSAA reviewed video evidence and a report submitted by Carol City following the Oct. 2 incident. The confrontation with Grayson, which beat Carol City 10-9, began during the handshake line before escalating into a fight involving

The shift from warning to citation has split opinion among drivers and parents in the neighborhoods surrounding the cameras, even as police say it is still too early to know whether the devices are actually making streets safer.

Palm Beach County schools seek hiring ban against 2 former staffers

The Palm Beach County School Board voted to ask the state ban two more former employees after they were convicted of or pleaded guilty to committing crimes against children. It was at least the fourth time in the past two months the board took such an action. In September, the board voted to have a former teacher and a former band assistant put on the state's list of people who are barred from working at a public school after both men pleaded guilty to crimes against children in separate cases. On Oct. 14, board members voted to recommend bans for Christopher Withers, a former math teacher at Duncan Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, and for Ruben Tirado, a part-time assistant football coach at Seminole Ridge High in Loxahatchee. Sean Cooley, chief of communications for the Palm Beach County School District, said the actions of the two men "should not overshadow the daily work of a team made up of 12,000 educators and 10,000 staff members, whose dedication has helped make the district an “A” rated school district and the most trusted educational choice for families throughout our community." Withers, 33, was arrested in March 2025 and charged with 15
