The District Records Office
The District Records Office, formerly known as
the Microfilm Student Records Unit, has student records
dating back to the 1918 school year. The District
Records Office is located in the Duval County Public
Schools Administration Building at 1701 Prudential Drive, 4th Floor, Room
434,
Jacksonville,
Florida 32207.
The office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m.
until 4:30 p.m.
Student records are retrieved at the request of
former students, colleges and universities, and
community, state and federal agencies. Requests for
records fall into four (4) general categories:
- Transcripts for former students wishing to
continue their education or needing educational
confirmation for employment.
- Verification of personal identifying
information (i.e., birth, parentage) and residence
for state and federal benefits such as, Social
Security, inheritance, and other personal interest
reasons.
- Scholastic and attendance information for
use by the courts, rehabilitative programs, military
recruiters, parole and probation (county, state and
federal).
- Verbal graduation verification for
employment.
There is a $1.00 service fee for
records. The only exceptions to the $1.00 service fee
are for individuals incarcerated and/or records
requested by colleges and universities, social service
agencies for disability determination or courts and
their agents.
