Update: 2025-09-19
Description
The Sarasota school district may end up closing down its first school since 1969. And Wilkinson Elementary is not the only Title 1 school that could end up disappearing, amid shrinking student numbers and budgets for public schools.

Then: That same board will be weighing a 1,000-unit project on agricultural land by a prominent developer. We have the details.
