The Jacksonville City Council joined with the Duval County School Board on Wednesday morning to hear about some of the school district’s key issues.
New Insider Deals are perfect for spring and summer– It was a chance for council members to catch up on these big topics and ask questions, especially as many of their constituents are concerned about the possibility of their neighborhood school closing.
“This is a moment of challenge and opportunity. That’s what I’ve been saying about this role…there’s a number of challenges that we have, every school district has them, but also we’re looking for a person who can understand those challenges, have solutions for those challenges, and then create opportunities,” Willie said.
“Every single human being in that building works together as a team, the staff, the principals, it’s just the camaraderie, and, the teachers are so special. I mean, it’s an ‘A’ school,” Anders Ruffin said. The district is planning to take input from the community on their concerns at a series of public meetings in the coming weeks before making any decisions on consolidation.
