Orlando Citizen — Schools Beat

Priya Raman

Schools reporter. Priya covers the classrooms and boardrooms of Central Florida education: Orange County Public Schools — one of the largest districts in the country — and the Seminole, Osceola and Lake County districts.

Her beat runs on primary sources: school board agendas and minutes, district releases, Florida Department of Education school grades and state board actions. Board decisions are reported from minutes and official releases, never from an agenda alone — an agenda is a plan, not a decision.

What she covers: board votes and budgets, school grades and ratings, closures and boundary changes, academic calendars, superintendent actions, and state education policy as it lands in Central Florida classrooms.
