Jacksonville, FL — With Duval County Public Schools planning to launch virtual learning for students on March 23, top district leaders laid out details of what's planned.
Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene says a comprehensive website for 'Duval HomeRoom' will launch this weekend. She says they do need parents to fill out a technology survey, so they can get a better idea of what's needed throughout the county. You can do that by phone by calling (904) 348-5200 or online by clicking HERE.
With this new home-based system, Greene says she hopes to complete the school year as scheduled on the school calendar.
