New West Boynton Beach Charter school plans to mirror Somerset & Doral Academy

[Guest guest]

A proposed new Charter middle and high school is planned to be built by the

Somerset and Doral Academies of Broward and Miami but there are no specific

plans to address the special needs community. This new school is proposed to

hold up to 2000 students but there are no plans to build any special sensory

rooms or social skills programs for kids who suffer from Autism.

There is a definite need for a special school to house our kids, especially with

so many of these kids getting ready to enter middle school within the next 2

years.

The urgent needs to include classrooms and social groups within this new West

Boynton Beach school area needs to be added to the proposal. Many of the

parents residing within the West Boynton Beach area have to commute with their

kids atleast 30 miles away to specialized schools in West Palm and North Palm

Beach. The district at many times is not offering free bus service to these

areas and is preventing us as parents the ability to work a full day at work.
