**Good morning, Crystal Springs families!**
In the interest of maintaining open communication, we want to make you aware that we are currently experiencing air conditioning issues throughout the building. We have notified the district’s HVAC team, and they are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, if you feel it is necessary to keep your child home out of an abundance of caution, the absence will be excused.
If your child attends school, please know that we will do everything we can to keep students comfortable while the issue is being addressed. **Instruction will continue as scheduled.**
The safety and well-being of our students remain our top priorities. We will continue to keep families informed as we work to resolve this issue.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.

2. Is This a Tax Increase Caption:
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.
Learn more about the 1-mill referendum and find answers to frequently asked questions by visiting our website. www.duvalschools.org/vote

AC is up and working! :)
Good afternoon,
I wanted to give everyone an update on the AC. The HVAC team is diligently working on getting the air up and running. The temperature in classrooms are between 75-80 degrees. If you feel it necessary to come pick your child up due to the warmth, we are asking that you please do so in the next hour- between now (12:30) and no later than 1:30pm. Again, we are doing everything on our end to keep everyone comfortable and teaching and learning are still occurring. Thank you for your grace and patience as we navigate through this together!
