July 30, 2025: A Conversation on the Future of Education

Thank you to those who attended this powerful discussion with Duval County School Leadership as we unpacked the latest decisions from the Florida Legislature and what they mean for our students, teachers, and public schools. 

Clarification following Advocacy Night: SB994 requires students to take an expanded online drivers' education course. It does not require students to take the in-person drivers' education classes offered at DCPS high schools.
