ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Seven Orange County schools will close their doors permanently this week as the 2026 school year concludes.
These closures follow Orange County Public Schools losing 3,100 students, resulting in a $30 million reduction in state funding.
State lawmakers also agreed to a budget deal Sunday night that includes some protections for public schools facing declining money.
The decision to close these schools was made following a vote, which was preceded by various discussions on the matter.
