JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As the Florida Standards Assessments loom, Duval County Public Schools emailed families of 17,299 students who are enrolled in the district’s virtual learning platform Duval HomeRoom, encouraging those families to return their students to face-to-face instruction.
“Our Spring Reopening Plan requires that the district contact families of students who are failing to make adequate progress to notify them of their child’s academic status and to require them to return to face-to-face instruction,” the message said. “Your child, listed above, has been identified as being scheduled into at least one Duval Homeroom course and is not making adequate progress.”
