Why even put this map up? There's no cross streets. In these days of Google maps that can read license plates or see tell you who’s on first at Wrigley Field, can't the school board be a little more proactive in explaining what they disseminate to the public?

Geez, guess my kids will now have to go to another city on a bus instead of walking to the school thats right next to our home. Now thats what I call "CLOSE TO HOME!!!!"

What a waste of a map. My child could go to one of three schools with this map. PCSB sucks.

I agree, this doesn't tell you squat about what school is close home. What a joke, now I'll have to go to one of 3 different schools to see which one my son will actually attend.

What a waste of time waiting for this map. Now my son has to go to a school that is farther away from home (if I read this right - thanks for no cross streets!!) instead of going to the school that is 5 minutes from our house!

Well, at least the map has pretty colors. That's about all it's good for.

This is awful. I mean, really, really sad. Was the guy drawing the little odd shapes around schools blindfolded?

The map is a little confusing-but our school will talk more at a PTA meeting on the 17th of this month. From what I can see I get to stay where I am at-YES!

Stupid Map, you are so right about PSCB sucking.
Clayton Wilcox, the person in charge of educating our children, let us know this week that a tyranny of the majority was perfectly fine with the Pinellas County School Board. He doesn't understand how a constitutional republic is supposed to work, and the courts will have to show him. This could be a good lesson in civics to our children. Obviously civics is not something Wilcox and his band of pranksters are qualified to teach.

Looks like technology is foreign to this stuperintendent. So far all he has used technology to do is slander people, blog about himself, slant statistics and search for new jobs.
Wouldn't it be great for people to enter their home address and find their school zone?
Not a super hard feat. Thanks Wilcox. Glad you brought our district from "good to great."
More like you took it from the verge of sucking to sucking real bad.
Our colors of faces in our neighborhoods will be just as starkly contrasted as you map very soon. THanks for taking us back 50 years.
Can't wait for your school board hacks to suck up our county government!
