K-12 Education

A number of excellent public and private, K-12 schools cover the North Central Florida region.  In addition, strategic linkages and cooperative programs serving the 15 school districts and schools are provided by two excellent and innovative regional education consortiums—the Northeast Florida Education Consortium (NEFEC) and the Panhandle Area Education Consortium (PAEC). The programs and services offered through NEFEC and PAEC link K-12 with higher education, multiple workforce development services, and the region’s economic development activities to insure that current and future workforce needs are addressed for current and prospective companies.
