Advertisement and a public hearing are required to adopt new policies.  

The Clay County District Schools has historically contracted with the Clay County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement services/School Resource Officers upon owned or leased Clay County District School’s Property. The CCDS established an internal Police Department to provide Law Enforcement Officers/School Resource Officers at schools within unincorporated Clay County, minus schools within the municipal boundaries of Orange Park and Green Cove Springs. CCDS Police Department General Orders/Policies must be established.

The CCDS Police Department was recently established; therefore, CCDS Police Department did not exist.

The public hearing will be held as advertised to establish Clay County District Schools Police Department General Orders/Policies.

Ensure effective management of the organization, operations, and facilities to maximize the use of resources and promote a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment for Clay County students.

Approve the new School Board Policies, Police Department - Section IX (General Orders 9.01 - 9.16) following the public hearing.
