The Duval County School Board reopens its search for a new school superintendent on March 15 and will begin accepting applications through April 15. School board members will then make their selections for semifinalist at a workshop on April 23 and, following a further round of questions, the finalist will be chosen on May 23, with an official start date of July 1. You can see a more detailed time line for the search here.
In October 2023, the board suspended the search it had begun following the retirement of Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene in July. Board members cited a lack of qualified applicants as the reason to postpone the search.
During the search last year, Duval County Public Schools conducted a series of community events and a public survey to get input from the community.
