Rezoning controversy nears conclusion, whatever it may be
It's the bottom of the 9th, the fourth quarter, the final remaining seconds of the third period, the last ten seconds of the 15th round. Use whatever sports metaphor you want, but it is down to almost the last play of the game for parents challenging the high school rezoning in Seminole County.
Tomorrow, Circuit Judge Debra Nelson will hear parents' allegations that the School Board violated Florida's Sunshine laws covering the activities that govern the activities of elected public officials.
If Nelson rules in the parents' favor, it becomes a whole new ballgame, and the rezoning process goes back to where it all began, basically starting the rezoning process anew. If Nelson rules against the parents, their only remaining hope is a pending appeal of an administrative judge's ruling in February that upheld the School Board's rezoning policy.
The action kicks off at 9:30 Friday morning, in Judge Debra Nelson's courtroom at the Seminole County courthouse.
