Seminole Schools Shine Amid Budget Cuts | Orlando News

Seminole County Public Schools is juggling record academic wins with deep budget cuts—nearly $30 million in slashes and a projected 1,500–2,000 student enrollment drop. Despite eliminating hundreds of jobs, Superintendent Serita Beamon celebrated top-tier performance: 95% of schools earned A or B grades, third-grade reading hit 72%, and the district remains Florida’s 1 ranked district. With an A rating for over 20 years, no failing schools, and a clean audit, they’re also investing in new facilities and AI tools to support teachers—not replace them. To stay solvent, they’re sharing staff roles and prioritizing safety with officers and weapon-detecting dogs, all while battling inflation and state funding that’s lagging behind.
