superintendent's message - Race to the Top
To
parents, students, teachers, principals, staff
and citizens of Duval County:
“We are excited about the
opportunity that this funding creates for Duval County
Public Schools (DCPS) and appreciate the help of the
Duval County School Board and Duval Teachers United for
collaborating with us for the grant application. This
funding will allow the district to continue some of the
trend-setting key elements already in place at DCPS that
are part of the grant, including end-of-course exams, an
evaluation and compensation system based on student
learning gains derived from a variety of assessments and
the reconstitution of lower performing schools based on
performance of teachers.
With a
potential shortfall of
nearly $125 million for next year, this funding will
assist us with our efforts to ensure that we have as
minimal an impact on the classroom as possible.”
