📰 News we're reading

• Rivera, Carapellotti Homer in Season Finale (oursportscentral.com) — Dunedin baseball fans can look back on a busy Blue Jays season that ended with a close 4-3 loss to Tampa but featured big power from Aldo Gaxiola and a seven-game win streak. The team boosted stolen bases, saw 19 players promoted, and showcased top Toronto prospects in Dunedin, underscoring the club's role in the local sports scene.
   

• Pinellas schools are shrinking. Which ones are feeling it most? (tampabay.com) — Pinellas County schools are grappling with steep enrollment declines, and Dunedin High is among the high schools still operating at 80% or more of capacity as officials weigh consolidation and program changes. Elementary campuses face the greatest risk of closure or mergers, with underused schools near St. Petersburg and Gulfport drawing particular scrutiny ahead of Thursday's "Planning for Progress" recommendations.
