🍎 For Teachers. For Students. For Duval. Our Progress Continues.
Our teachers and staff have helped us become an A-rated school district. Their dedication and expertise make a difference in classrooms every day, which is why recruiting and retaining great teachers remains an important priority for DCPS.
In 2022, Duval County voters approved the current 1-Mill, which has helped support teacher compensation and recruft and retain qualitied, certitied educators. Under Florda law, voters must consider the continuation of R the 1-Mill every four years, which is why it will appear on the November ballot.
Over the coming weeks, we'll share information about the 1-Mill, how the funding is used, the progress we've seen, and answers to frequently asked questions so our community can make an informed decision.
