Duval School Board terminates paraprofessional; budget, property, and student conduct votes ahead
The Duval County School Board voted 4-0 on June 22 to terminate paraprofessional Quintin Crum, adopting a judge's recommended order after a quasi-judicial hearing on rule violations. The decision is the only confirmed board action in the past two weeks; several other meetings were held on an agenda-only basis with minutes not yet published.
Termination of Quintin Crum
The board held a quasi-judicial hearing covering two Division of Administrative Hearings (DOAH) cases involving Mr. Crum. In the first case, no action was taken because Mr. Crum was not present. In the second case, the board unanimously adopted the judge's recommended order to terminate him as a paraprofessional for rule violations. The board also approved its agenda 4-0.
Sales-Surtax Oversight Committee
On June 24, the Sales-Surtax Oversight Committee was scheduled to review the 2025 Annual Report and discuss governance matters. The agenda included approval of minutes from May 20, a June 3 subcommittee meeting, and a June 17 interim meeting, followed by a public comments session. Minutes have not yet been published, so no outcomes are available.
Audit Advisory Committee
On June 25, the Audit Advisory Committee was set to hear a 30-minute update on the sale of a DCPS building, a 40-minute finance budget update from CFO Ronald Fagan, and a 35-minute status update from Melvin Dodson, IBA, on internal audit matters. The committee also planned to elect a chair and vice-chair and approve minutes from February 19, April 6, and April 23. Minutes have not yet been published.
Policy Subcommittee Discussions
On June 30, the Academic and Community Excellence Policy Subcommittee was scheduled to discuss three board policies: Policy 7.83 on the sale, transfer, or disposal of property; Policy 5.44 on attendance boundaries, school closures, and consolidations; and Policy 5.46 on magnet schools and programs. No votes or decisions were scheduled; this was a discussion-only meeting. Minutes have not yet been published.

Also on June 30, the board called a special meeting with a single agenda item: collective bargaining authority. The agenda did not provide additional details or specify a planned action. Minutes have not yet been published.
Code of Student Conduct and Property Votes
On July 1, the board was scheduled to hold public hearings and vote on the 2026-2027 Code of Student Conduct and revisions to Chapter 1, Chapter 5, and Chapter 8 board policies. The agenda also included a proposal to declare Ortega Elementary School No. 16 at 4010 Baltic Street as surplus property, acceptance of a former U.S. Highway 301 right-of-way donation from FDOT, and approval of budget resolutions for May 2026 and financial statements for April 2026.
