GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This meeting will be limited to two items, namely Jefferson County School District’s Financial Emergency and Duval County School District’s Revised Turnaround Plan for Hyde Grove Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary Schools.

Jefferson County School District. The purpose of this meeting is to appoint members and a chair of a financial emergency board for the Jefferson County School District, under the provisions of Sections 1011.051 and 218.503, F.S. An emergency meeting is necessary because the Commissioner has determined that the district does not have a plan that is reasonably anticipated to avoid a financial emergency and the district needs immediate assistance.

Duval County School District. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss approval of Duval County School District’s revised turnaround option plans for two elementary schools, Hyde Grove and Oak Hill. An emergency meeting is necessary because the district initially did not reassign students from these low performing schools to higher performing schools as required by law under the state system of school improvement and must do so before school opening on August 15.
