Orange County Public Schools cutting 200 jobs
Orange County Public Schools is cutting its workforce by 3%, or 200 positions, due to continued declines in enrollment and funding. "Over the past several years, our district has experienced sustained enrollment decline, a trend that is expected to continue. This has resulted in significantly reduced funding. In response, we have had to make decisions that reflect our current reality, not the one we wish we were still in," wrote Deputy Superintendent Jose Martinez in a letter send last Sunday, April 12. The reduction will impact the district's SAFE Coordinators, though mental health professionals will still remain at schools. A spokesperson for OCPS said most of the positions were funded positions that had not yet been filled. Others were filled that moved an employee to an unassigned list. In March, OCPS approved the closure of 7 schools: Bonneville Elementary, Chickasaw Elementary, Eccleston Elementary, McCoy Elementary, Meadow Woods Elementary, Orlo Vista Elementary, and Union Park Middle.

'So disgusted': Port Orange residents frustrated with canal quality
A canal that once drew Port Orange residents for its peaceful views and wildlife, is now at the center of growing concern. Residents who live near the Halifax Canal believe the canal's water quality and conditions have declined over the years. They describe murky water, a decline in wildlife and fish, and collections of trash and debris. They said the quality is so bad that they no longer feel safe swimming or boating in the canal. One resident said he's called the county, but has not been able to get a response. A spokesperson for Volusia County told FOX 35's Chris Lindsay that someone with the Public Works Department plans to visit the canal to access what may be going on.

Lake County: Deputy's bodycam was not on during deadly shooting
Family and friends of Timotheus Reed, 38, who was shot and killed by Lake County deputies last weekend, demanded answers from the Lake County Sheriff's Office about his death. Family and friends protested outside the sheriff's office -- and inside it on Wednesday. They've retained attorney Ben Crump. The Lake County Sheriff's Office said in a statement to FOX 35 that the deputy's body camera was not on when the shooting happened because the deputy did not activate his blue lights when responding to the call. The sheriff's office said that was because the deputy was already in the area when the 911 call was made.
