Is the renewal of the 1-mill a tax increase?
No. It is not an increase. It is a continuation.
The 1 mill is the same as what Duval County voters approved in 2022. If renewed, it would continue for another four years and help restore funding lost from other sources.
The 1 mill must be renewed by voters every four years to remain in effect.

Why is the 1 mill back on the ballot this November?
The current 1-mill was approved by Duval County voters in 2022, and under Florida law, voters must consider its continuation every four years.
The 1 mill has helped support teacher compensation and efforts to recruit and retain qualified, certified educators. Since 2022, teacher vacancies have declined, teacher retention has increased, and Duval County Public Schools has become an A-rated district for two consecutive years.
As we approach the November election, we’ll be sharing factual information to help our school community understand what the 1 mill is, how the funding is used, and what voters will be asked to consider.

Our 3rd graders were scientists in action today! 🔬✨
Ms. Walker led a hands‑on exploration where students used real science tools to measure, observe, and investigate the world around them. Their curiosity was off the charts, and we loved seeing them dive into discovery!
