History
Pinellas County Schools in Florida faced challenges related to desegregation, busing, and school choice after its establishment in 1912, following the split from Hillsborough County.
The district achieved “unitary” status in 2000 and operated a controlled choice program until 2007 when it introduced a “close-to-home” initiative, enabling students to attend the nearest school.
Additionally, the district offers 70 application programs, including magnet and career academy options.
In 2012, certain schools introduced reforms like extended learning and support services.
Early release Wednesdays, started in 2009, were discontinued in 2013 due to controversy.
