This Week in South Florida: Luisa Santos
Miami-Dade schools have more seats than students for the first time in generations, leading to the closure or merger of nine schools. The district attributes declining enrollment to demographic and political shifts, state education policies, and changes in immigration enforcement. School Board Member Luisa Santos sponsored the plan as part of a district downsizing effort and discussed it on 'This Week in South Florida'.
