Families, board member shocked by plan to close Tice, Orangewood

Lee County, Florida, is proposing to close Tice Elementary and Orangewood Elementary, surprising families and a school board member. Superintendent Denise Carlin said declining enrollment is behind the plan, which she said would save $40 million over seven years. Parents and board member Debbie Jordan criticized the lack of consultation and raised concerns about where students would attend school if the closures proceed.
