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.

Yesterday, our Kindergarten and First Grade classes had a special visit from our school counselor, Mrs. Bradner! 💗The students participated in a fun activity to get to know her better and learned about the important role of a school counselor. They talked about the different ways Mrs. Bradner can support and help them throughout the school year.
