Duval County Public Schools Packet Summary — 2026-07-02
Meeting: Thursday Jul 2, 2026 11:00 AM EDT July 2, 2026, Duval Teachers United (DTU) Paraprofessional Collective Bargaining General
The packet contains a Duval County School Board meeting notice concerning collective bargaining negotiations with Duval Teachers United (DTU). The substantive material is limited to the meeting notice and identifies paraprofessional collective bargaining as the scheduled negotiation topic.
Key Item on the Agenda
DTU Paraprofessional Collective Bargaining
The meeting notice states that the Duval County School Board will hold union negotiations with Duval Teachers United pursuant to Board Policy 8.51 through Board Policy 5.46.
The stated purpose of the meeting is:
- Negotiations — DTU Paraprofessional Collective Bargaining
The packet does not provide specific bargaining proposals, contract language, financial terms, wage or benefit changes, or recommended agreements. It therefore does not establish what positions either side is expected to present or whether any agreement is expected to be reached.
Meeting Notice Details
The notice identifies Duval Teachers United, 1601 Atlantic Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32207 as the meeting location.
The packet's notice contains revised or conflicting scheduling information relative to the configured meeting metadata. While the Civic Translator configuration identifies the meeting as July 2, 2026 at 11:00 AM EDT, the notice itself references July 1, 2026 and displays revisions involving 11:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The notice was originally posted June 23, 2026 and reposted June 30, 2026.
Because the packet text does not clearly resolve those revisions, this summary retains the authoritative configured meeting date of July 2, 2026 and does not infer which time notation in the notice represents the final schedule.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The packet establishes collective bargaining for paraprofessionals as the purpose of the meeting but provides no substantive bargaining documents. Key details—including proposed compensation changes, benefits, working conditions, contract provisions, or other negotiating positions—are not described in the supplied materials.
Accordingly, the packet supports identifying the meeting as a scheduled labor-negotiation session, but it does not support predicting specific bargaining outcomes or agreements.
Public Access and Accommodations
The meeting notice states that anyone anticipating an appeal of a School Board decision must ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is made, including the testimony and evidence on which an appeal would be based.
The notice also provides procedures for people requiring accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, including contact information through the School Board Office.
The official public-body source for this packet is Duval County Public Schools / Duval County School Board.
