Alachua County elementary school closures leave teachers uncertain about future

Alachua County school board members approved closures of several elementary schools, citing declining enrollment, budget shortfalls, and the impact of school choice policies. The decision is forcing teachers at affected campuses to navigate uncertain reassignments as part of a broader district rezoning effort. At least one elementary school teacher has spoken publicly about the personal and professional disruption the closures have caused.
