Parents of students in Duval County Public Schools continue to implore the School Board to find an alternative to a proposed Master Facility Plan that would potentially close nearly 30 schools across the district.

The plan, which would impact nearly every DCPS student in some way, was proffered to make up for a $1.4 billion gap in the district’s budget. Florida’s expansion of the school choice program is one of the factors contributing to that budget shortfall as more parents pull their children out of public schools and the state budget dollars go with them.Monday’s meeting at the School Board headquarters was the first time that newly selected superintendent Dr.

Parents will get another chance to address the school board on the Master Facility Plan at a 6 p.m. meeting Tuesday at Stanton College Prep on West 13th Street. The district has emphasized that nothing has been decided yet as far as the Master Facility Plan, and before making any decisions, the school district wants to hear from the public.
