About Duval County Public Schools

Duval County Public Schools is a large public school district serving the Jacksonville area in northeast Florida. As one of the state's larger districts, it operates a wide range of elementary, middle, and high schools, along with district-managed library collections whose contents are subject to state review requirements.

Books in Schools

This tracker currently lists 65 distinct titles that have been banned or challenged within Duval County Public Schools. That places the district among the more active in Florida for book removals and challenges, reflecting both the district's size and the heightened scrutiny school library collections have faced statewide in recent years.

Much of this activity follows from Florida House Bill 1467, signed into law in 2022, which set new requirements for the review and selection of school library and instructional materials and gave parents and community members expanded avenues to challenge titles. Districts across the state have since reported varying volumes of removals and challenges as they implement these requirements, and Duval County's count reflects its own local review process operating under that framework.

No verified news coverage specific to this district's book removals is currently linked here. This page will be updated as additional documentation becomes available.
