Speakers:

The Alachua County School Board met May 5 for recognitions and a lengthy, at-times contentious discussion about school boundary changes and facility planning in the Alachua area. After public comment criticizing rapid school-closure plans, the board voted 3-2 to keep Irby as a PreK–2 site and make Mebane a grades 3–8 campus while staff work on design and concurrency and report back on implementation and costs.
