Evelyn Brooks — General assignment — community & schools-adjacent features

Evelyn Brooks writes general-assignment community features for Orlando Citizen — neighbourhoods, libraries, parks, and the schools-adjacent stories (the crossing guard, the carnival, the boundary letter) that sit beside the Schools beat’s board coverage.

Her sources are the institutions themselves — district and county releases, venue and association records — and her rule is the desk’s: names, dates and figures come from documents, not from the rumour mill.

What she covers: community features, neighbourhood profiles, schools-adjacent and family-facing stories, civic-life follow-ups.
