Duval County’s District 6 school board seat represents much of Jacksonville’s westernmost end.
Running for the seat is incumbent Charlotte Joyce. She’s a former substitute teacher, PTA leader and a big advocate for the district’s Magnet programs and school choice. She recently became a grandmother.
Whoever the voters choose will immediately have to address how to handle one of the district’s more pressing issues -- a shortage of more than 400 teachers and hundreds more support staff. A measure on the same ballot as this race would raise property taxes to pay for an increase in teacher salaries.
“I just thought it would be fair to the taxpayer to know how much your teacher is going to get from the millage increase,” she added. “I would say that it’s going to be vital that we support teachers in the classroom, that when they are having issues with students discipline-wise, that we put behavior interventionists in those schools to help support those teachers,” Joyce said. “I think that’s gonna go a long way in getting teachers to stay in the system.”
