Community Engagement Office Bridges the Gap Between DCPS and the Community
The Community Engagement and Community Involvement offices have merged to create the Community and Family Engagement (CFE) Office. The mission of CFE is to assist Duval County public schools in developing strong, innovative and collaborative partnerships within the community, which include parents and families, educators, nonprofits, for-profits, faith-based, civic groups, and government agencies, to enhance the quality of instructional services provided to Duval students.
