Outcry from the community has been louder and louder as schools are threatened.
District leaders said they’re losing students to charter and private schools and therefore losing money, contributing to a more than $1 billion budget gap that led to the proposal by outside consultants to close at least 10 elementary schools.
"I’d like to encourage my colleagues on the school board and city council not to villainize charter schools,” said City Councilmember Nick Howland, at-large group 3. “We do need to move forward,” Pierce said. “The district is facing some very, very difficult financial issues and current situation really isn't sustainable.”
"Again, it is just a proposal," said Duval County School Board Vice Chair Charlotte Joyce."It’s the very, very first part of a lot of conversations.”
