Now instead of K-8 NN school opening in 2023, it won’t open until 2024, and News4JAX Insiders had plenty to say about it.“If the county can’t afford to build the schools they need to stop building houses. Plain and simple,” said one Insider.Despite the delay in the construction of that new school for another year, the district is still moving forward with rezoning to help overcrowded schools in the northwest part of the county and presented new proposals last night.
Parents in northwest St. Johns County neighborhoods spoke out against some of the nine different rezoning options presented to the board Tuesday night.“I am asking, and begging to not split up Rivertown,” said Anna Cardoza, a Rivertown neighborhood.
