Duval County Schools is once again considering a move away from its headquarters on the St. Johns River after a potential buyer withdrew from the deal as the school district now has a new front-runner interested in purchasing the Southbank property.

In a unanimous 0–7 vote, board members rejected a proposal that would have sold the district’s riverfront headquarters to Fleet Landing, a nonprofit planning to redevelop the site into a retirement community.

In a decision that has sparked significant debate, the Duval County School Board voted 6 to 1 to implement changes to the district’s health education program.

The Duval County School Board held a workshop Tuesday where it discussed a potential change to its employee conduct policy.

The national nonprofit, One in Five Foundation for Kids, says it plans to mobilize into Duval County school neighborhoods after some reported gang activity.

Sarah Mannion and Melody Bolduc share their goals if they're elected to the school board district 7 seat.

Four of seven seats on the Duval County School Board are up for election this year. These are nonpartisan races that will appear on the August primary ballot. In District 7, school board member Lori Hershey can’t seek re-election due to term limits. Melody Ann Bolduc and Sarah Ann Mannion are on the ballot for this open seat. This race will appear on the ballots of all voters in the district, regardless of party affiliation.
