The last meeting focused on what some consider district strengths while also highlighting the critical challenges the next superintendent will face. Concerns like upgrading older schools, promoting the values of traditional schools and adding more buses were brought up.
Former teachers told Action News Jax that they are waiting to see how this process goes.
“I think whoever applies for this job has such a base to build,” said Bill Vogel with the Superintendent Search Board.
Tonight’s community forum will be held at Raines High School at 6 p.m. Parents can attend either in person online.
