The fencing project is part of an ongoing renovation and rebuilding program taking place at the school, which DCPS said was made possible by the half-penny sales tax increase in Duval County.

DCPS said that the voluntary half-penny sales tax will be used to fund vital facility improvements at public schools over the next 15 years.
