What to know about school zones, year-round school schedules

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – It’s a little early to be talking back to school, but for two central Florida counties that will be a thing year-round.

Mark Lehman had Brevard County covered this morning, so I have Marion County. These two Central Florida counties will now attend school year-round in a new pilot program.

I attended Waterford Lakes Elementary School in east Orange County for second and third grade. At the time, the school was a year-round school. Now I can remember my mom thoroughly enjoying this but to me it was water under the bridge.
