Hillsborough School Board votes on proposal to close Just Elementary in West Tampa

FuN fAcT i Go To ThAt ScHooL

Why did enrollment drop? I’m guessing Booker T Washington school is minority too. I would like to hear the reason for closing it.

Going to a school a couple of miles away is not a hardship. And getting on TV and saying that the new school "doesn't want" the children from Just makes you look like a complete idiot.

I rode a bus to school and lived to tell the tale. Children all over America do the same thing. Every day.

11% of students proficient in reading? Did no one hear that? My word, that is terrible.

No one actually said why they want to close the school. Is it just considered too expensive in contrast to how many students it is hosting?

I wonder if the parents are involved in their children's education. Reading to them at an early age. Taking them to libraries, museums, festivals, community events, etc. You don't leave everything up to the school system. Parents have to put in a lot more effort than the schools.

I'm not even in this area and it's not ok this seems like a racist attack stop this bs already and put them on a bs that's horrible experience. Things could happen on the bus that no bus driver will stop this is bs and I pray the school stays opened no reason to shut it down and you know it this is racism 100 and I stand with the parents and children in the community

Why does everyone make it about race? They said the school had underlying problems and the attendance had dropped….. How is that "getting rid of it because of the brown people" or whatever that one guy said.
In this new segment it was clearly stated that there were multiple reasons that the school was going to potentially be shut down.
Also if you aren't willing to make a combinations and changes in your life for your children then don't have children.
Go cry.

Don't bus your kids. It's a horrible experience all the way around. If I knew then what I know now I'd quit my jobs, home school both kids, grow a garden, chickens, eggs and make the husband get 2 jobs if needed.
