DCPS said the ACE process is where a group of stakeholders is formed to review data, history and facts related to a topic or proposal to develop recommendations for Superintendent Dr. Christopher Bernier.
The 13 elementary schools that may be impacted are:
- Bayview
- Cedar Hills
- Crystal Springs
- Gregory Drive
- Hidden Oaks
- Hyde Grove
- Hyde Park
- Jacksonville Heights
- Normandy Village
- Ramona
- Ruth Upson
- Sadie Tillis
- Timucuan
Following the ACE process, the district will make a recommendation that will go to the school board for action.
The Master Facility Plan outline shows that for the 2026-2027 school year, Hidden Oaks Elementary would merge with Cedar Hills Elementary.
Hyde Grove K-2 would merge into Hyde Park Elementary.
Then in 2029, both Gregory Drive and Normandy Village would merge into Charger Academy, which would become an elementary school.
The meeting will have an opportunity for public comment.
