The Duval County School Board’s headquarters just might be moving, after all.
Six months after the board rejected other locations it had considered, recently hired Superintendent Christopher Bernier told members he wants to look for a real estate firm to sell the school district’s administrative offices on Prudential Drive and find a building inspector to assess potential replacement sites.
“The Southbank of this river is developing and there are people very interested in where we sit as it relates to the greater good of the Jacksonville community,” Bernier told members during a workshop Tuesday.
School district Chief of Staff Michael Ramirez said an invitation to negotiate for a commercial real estate firm to represent it could be issued as early as next week.

A contract for that work might be awarded by December, he said, with discussions early next year about what the district would need in a new headquarters.
