It's Friday in Broward and Palm Beach. Let's check the news:
  • Jeffrey Hernandez, chief academic officer in Palm Beach County public schools, says he "took a bullet" for Superintendent Art Johnson after parents rejected a new curriculum designed to improve standardized test performance. [Palm Beach Post]
  • Broward Sheriff's Office layoffs will hit the jail's deputies particularly hard this year, based on Sheriff Al Lamberti's first budget proposal. The majority of those deputies are black and it just happens that they supported Scott Isreal in the 2008 campaign. [Sun-Sentinel
  • A Boynton Beach mother is angry about what she says were provocative pictures taken of her daughter, who was disciplined for violating the dress code at Christa McAuliffe Middle School. [WPTV-5]
