As reported by Jason Schultz of the Palm Beach
Post, Mayor Cary Glickstein
said “City officials didn’t call the meeting in response to any particular
concern or complaint expressed by residents over education, but rather as a
general effort for the city to become more proactive in making its overall
vision for the education provided at schools in the city a reality. “He
continued “Washington and Tallahassee aren’t going to solve our problems and
the school board has limited resources. We need to be more proactive in moving
things down the road.”
The Goal is to outline four or five key goals the city of Delray
Beach would like to see from the Palm Beach County school district and ways the
city and school district can partner as a team to make those goals a reality.
One of the previously discussed priorities is getting a future
arts-themed middle school magnet program that the school district is
considering building somewhere in southern Palm Beach County, perhaps at the
former Plumosa Elementary School campus in Delray Beach.
