OCPS has Begun Consolidating Small Elementary Schools
http://begreatacademy.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/ocps-plans-to-build-k8-schools-900-1200-students/
From the 2013 OCPS State of the Schools Address
The other three K-8′s proposed, are small school solutions designed to address three inner city schools which will be left with populations under 300 students, one under 200 students.
Those proposed K-8′s are on the screen behind us and are: • a consolidation of old Audubon Park and Fern Creek Elementary Schools at the old
Audubon Park site; • a consolidation of Pine Castle and Pershing Elementary Schools at the Pershing site; and • a consolidation of Lake Como and Kaley Elementary Schools at the Lake Como site.
Will Schools with Fewer than 400 Students be Next?
