If young people do not have access to good schools then more businesses will continue to have labor shortages ( meaning those that succeed will be outrageously expensive to go to ).
Everyone wins when the options for education are ample. Wildwoods school has horrible test scored, nobody will be rushing to move here because of the school that is the only one ( Lake Lake , also test scores are nothing to be proud of).
For all the homes here one would think that the schools for the family's in the area would be fabulous. And we need more families in this area for all the jobs created with thousands of retires buying homes here. What good will The Villages if there are lots of buildings but no one to staff them?
The developers need to take notice. The lack of employees has changed the quality ( and cost) of business's here radically just since I came 4 yrs ago.
Surely most of the kids are bused in?
