JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Duval County Public Schools has recommended the closure of a Northside elementary school.
The move to close Lake Forest Elementary stems from Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene's mission to address low-performing schools in the district.
Greene addressed the issue on the Duval County Public Schools' website.
“One of my chief goals as incoming superintendent was to address our D and F schools as we march toward becoming an A-rated district,” said Dr. Greene. “Our recent decisions regarding Lake Forest and Northwestern are difficult, but we must do everything possible to ensure our students are in higher performing schools.”
Students who were enrolled in Lake Forest will be placed in North Shore Elementary.
