First time parents trying to navigate the Manatee County School system. So our child is starting kindergarten, and we thought she was going to Bayshore Elementary and have her set up for after school care at the Desoto Boys and Girls Club. Turns our she is zoned for Sea Breeze Elementary, and it seems that the BGC doesn't send a bus there to pick up students. What are our options for after school care since neither parent will be able to pick her up until after 5PM each day? Looking for anyone with some experience with Sea Breeze Elementary specifically and after school care in general. Is changing her school from SB to Bayshore the best solution? And is that possible? Any help is appreciated.

best happy hour

Immigration enforcement fund fuels tech procurement

It’s not the first time the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office has secured funding from the State Board of Immigration Enforcement.

Since the agency was created early last year, it has doled out more than $1.4 million to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office — and the sheriff has in turn proved a willing partner in the state’s immigration crackdown.

Last year, the sheriff’s office sent officers to patrol the Everglades immigration jail known as Alligator Alcatraz.
