Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Long Range Plan for Magnet Programs?
  • A Long Range Plan will set some guidelines and ideas that help focus our decisions and help the district coordinate our plans for Magnet Programs alongside other district work.
    
    
• How do I get involved?
  • Working groups of teachers, parents and community members have been formed to do some of the more detailed work and these groups will provide some preliminary ideas which can be reviewed on-line (available around the middle of June 2009).  Also, we will be having community meetings on June 30th and July 14th to present these same preliminary ideas and to gather your input.
    
    
• My student attends a magnet program, how will my school be affected?
  • Creating specific plans for specific schools is not the purpose of the Long Range Plan The Long Range Plan will set out guidelines and principles which will help the District make consistent and focused decisions and help us make progress towards the four School Board Goals A, B, C & D.
    
    
• My student DOES NOT attend a magnet program, should I be interested in this process and will my school be affected?
  • As we mentioned, creating specific plans for specific schools is not the purpose of the Long Range Plan.  But, you may be interested in a magnet program in the future or you may be interested in what effects having magnet programs has on the District in general.
    
    
• When will changes be made, if any there are any changes?
  • Work will be continuing this Summer and into the Fall.  Decisions about the Long Range Plan and reviews with Superintendent and School Board are expected sometime in the Aug. through Oct. 2009 timeframe.  We will continue to update the information on this website as we finalize the material and the dates.
    
    
• How can I provide my feedback?
  • You can attend one of the community meetings or you can review the information on this website and fill out our on-line survey.
    
    
• Who should be involved?
  • We would like feedback from everyone who has an interest in the success of students in Duval County Public schools.  Please provide your feedback to us either at one of our community meetings or on-line.  And tell your friends and neighbors to get involved as well.  We want to hear from you!
