The Broward County superintendent said Tuesday the termination of Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, for thousands of Haitian immigrants could significantly affect the school district’s budget because of projected lower enrollment.
“One of my biggest or largest concerns right now is what’s going on with the TPS status for our Haitian families,” superintendent Howard Hepburn said at a budget hearing before the Broward School Board. “From just listening, from asking questions, I have a fear that it’s going to impact enrollment in the Tri-County area for sure.”
