School Plan Booted

A proposal to build a vocational high school on county land next to the fairgrounds pits a political activist against County Mayor Sara Baxter. First, activist Jorge Garrido had Sheriff Ric Bradshaw’s support to give up 11 acres at the shuttered stockade, which is set aside for the sheriff’s use.

• Garrido believed that the vocational school would provide valuable job training and skills to local youth.
• However, when Garrido approached Sheriff Ric Bradshaw with his plan, Bradshaw suddenly changed his mind and withdrew his support.

Garrido blamed the County Mayor for the sudden change of heart, claiming that she was trying to block the project from moving forward.

Jail Up in the Air

Meanwhile, a new jail is on the horizon for Palm Beach County. A proposal to build a new facility has been met with resistance from local residents and activists.

• The proposed jail would be built on land currently used by the Florida Department of Corrections.

Despite the opposition, County officials remain committed to moving forward with the project.
