Bernier said he's focused on increasing student enrollment, making decisions surrounding the district's master facility plan and improving student test scores.During the ceremony, Bernier said he is aware of the challenges the district faces including budget gaps, enrollment issues and problems with employee ethical behavior and that difficult decisions will have to be made regarding the future of schools.
When asked about his top three goals for DCPS he said he's focused on increasing student enrollment, making decisions surrounding the district's master facility plan and improving student test scores. “You’re going to see a plan rolled out in the next two weeks regarding an entry plan. It includes town halls, community meetings, focus groups, meeting with different groups of employees, meeting with elected officials. It’s really going to be all hands on deck," Bernier said.“We need more morale and morale also comes with money as well so, resources are the number one thing that a school like Ribault needs," Edwards said.
“We have to make some decisions about how we can go ahead and continue to support our communities that want to keep their school but in a way that makes financial sense for the district," Dr. Bernier said.Edwards believes if the district moves forward with closures, it could put an extra burden on teachers.
“So you’re seeing a high ratio between students and teachers, so if you're going to do that, there has to be extra training as well as extra salary support to help those in need," Edwards said.'Stop the negotiations!' Duval County Public School parents push for pause to superintendent negotiations
