The Duval County School Board wants to know whether a troubled pilot program intended to teach over-age students has improved enough to continue next school year.
As it began the budgeting process Tuesday, the board asked district officials for a detailed progress report about Schools for the Future, which is a partnership with nonprofit organizations.
Also Tuesday, the board learned the district doesn't have enough capital funds to cover all the maintenance work and technology upgrades needed because of unfunded mandates and declining property values.
Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals and senior district staff gave the board an overview of two budget areas: the capital plan proposal, including a capital fund review, and academic services, composed of programs, curriculum and services intended to help student achievement.
