Broward debates school repair priorities
A proposal to fix the roofs, restrooms and parking lot at Cooper City High School sparked a School Board debate about prioritizing capital needs in light of thinning budgets. Cooper

schools still face similar conditions and their needs should be
considered before Cooper City gets another fix — this one for almost $6
million.
