• Pinellas schools are shrinking. Which ones are feeling it most? (tampabay.com) — Families in Dunedin will want to know that Dunedin High is among the Pinellas schools still running at over 80% capacity, even as the district sheds thousands of students and weighs closures or consolidations. Officials are preparing a major "Planning for Progress" proposal that could reshape under-enrolled campuses, especially elementaries, with decisions guided by building age, programs, community role, and nearby school capacity.
