Matanzas Bay, FL


please press:  www.news-journalonline.com

ezs note:  I'm glad that Mr. Berstrand transferred from Matanzas High School to Flagler Palm Coast High School - kind of.  Short term, it solved the problem, but long term it does nothing to stanch the wound that is Matanzas.  If you are a student, parent, or concerned citizen, don't be silent - speak up and speak out.
