School Boundary Recommendation to Duval County School Board

Recommended

Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution No. 26-59 to advocate for the City's educational priorities and the long-term social cohesion of the community. Submitted by CM Hogencamp on behalf of Commissioner Kelly.

Debated

Currently, student assignment plans managed by the Duval County School Board (DCSB) impact the social and economic fabric of the City. This Resolution seeks to formally recommend that the DCSB prioritize local zoning to maintain the "small-town" character of Atlantic Beach. The City formally requests that the DCSB establish attendance boundaries ensuring all public school students residing within municipal limits are zoned for Atlantic Beach Elementary School as their "first choice." Atlantic Beach Elementary School has served as an "A-rated" anchor institution for generations, providing historical continuity and a unique sense of identity for residents. No fiscal impact.
