Villalobos Pauses School Closures for Review | Miami News

Rafael Villalobos has just taken the reins as Miami-Dade’s new superintendent, facing a tough call: potentially closing over 20 schools due to falling enrollment. He warns that under-enrolled schools risk losing vital programs like music, art, and PE — but he’s also listening to community concerns. The initial list of schools is just a placeholder; Villalobos is pausing public meetings to dig deeper, ensure solid data, and align board members before moving forward. Community forums will resume in October — giving parents and staff time to prepare for what’s ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
