Broward Schools Superintendent Howard Hepburn has praised major overhauls to educational plans for the upcoming school year following budget issues. Changes include a 3D zone at Nova Middle School, magnet programs in artificial intelligence, aviation and the marine industry, and increased opportunities for art and music lessons in elementary schools. Despite the budget struggles, the school system has been given an A-rating by the state of Florida for the third consecutive year. Another major change for the 2026-2027 school year is a bus camera program aimed at improving safety for students.
