Redefining Our Schools 2026-27

Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is changing to better serve its students and community. As school districts across the nation face similar challenges, we commit to making the District more innovative and responsive to changing educational needs. BCPS is exploring ways to reduce the number of under-enrolled schools to ensure equitable funding and instructional resources across the District. Redefining Our Schools will involve community input, data analysis, and creative thinking. Strategies may include adding new programs, combining schools, boundary adjustments, school closures, and repurposing schools to expand community services. There will be many opportunities for the community to provide input throughout the planning process.
