School Safety

Safety and security measures include an armed police officer or safe school officer on every campus; threat assessment teams on each campus; and camera surveillance used at all schools.

Health, Mental Health, and COVID-19
Students have access to health and mental health care at no cost to families through two district partnerships: Hazel Health and Full Service Schools. Regarding COVID-19 precautions, the district plans to continue several mitigating measures to prevent the spread of communicable disease in schools. However, other measures will be discontinued.

School Meals
The district will continue to serve meals at no cost to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP is a school meal funding option of the National School Lunch Program that enables the district’s nutrition program to provide free breakfasts and lunches to all students, even after pandemic waivers expire.Â

Transportation
With a national bus driver shortage still impacting Duval, families may continue to notice bus delays, longer bus rides, and longer wait times. Transportation staff is working with its bus vendors on strategies to recruit and retain bus drivers.
