A proposal to build a vocational high school on county land next to the fairgrounds has been met with resistance from County Mayor Sara Baxter, who is at odds with activist Jorge Garrido over the use of 11 acres set aside for Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s office. Read more at BocaVibe.com.

Background of the Proposal

  • The shuttered stockade, which is currently used by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, was initially proposed to be repurposed as a vocational high school.
  • Jorge Garrido, a political activist, had secured support from Sheriff Bradshaw for the proposal.
  • Garrido had envisioned the vocational school as a way to provide job training and education to local youth.

However, when it came time for County Mayor Sara Baxter to approve the plan, she suddenly lost interest in the project. Garrido has since accused Baxter of reneging on her commitment to support the proposal.
