After nearly nine hours of heated and contentious debate about how to reshuffle thousands of students in Southwest Broward, the School Board tentatively approved a plan early Friday:
Send all of Southwest Ranches and pockets of Davie and Pembroke Pines to West Broward High School in Pembroke Pines; a chunk of Weston to Western High in Davie; and a hunk of Miramar High students to Everglades High in Miramar.
