Seven Schools Merge Into One | Orlando News

Orange County Public Schools just pulled off a major shake-up, merging seven schools into new campuses to cope with falling enrollment—think Union Park Middle and elementary giants like Bonneville and Chickasaw now rolling into hubs like Ventura. Teachers like Brooke Torres, who’s been at McCoy for ten years, and Kira Judah, who spent eleven at Bonneville, are adjusting—but finding warmth in new communities. Ventura’s principal, Tom Kalament, led the charge with family-focused events, even a mural-painting day, turning transitions into unity. Over 3,000 students are affected, but the goal? A tighter, more connected school system that still feels like home. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
