The Seminole County School Board has zeroed in on eight elementary schools as they consider shutting down two elementary schools to save money as the district faces a $20 million budget deficit for next school year.

Three of these schools are historically high scoring and therefore highly sought-after from a real estate standpoint. Keeth Elementary, just outside the Tuscawilla community in Winter Springs, Carillon Elementary in Oviedo, and Wekiva Elementary in Longwood all made the list. These are all either within the neighborhood itself or within walking distance of very large neighborhoods. I don't think the board will vote to close any of these three, but I'm nonetheless surprised they made the list for consideration.
