JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Duval County School Board voted Tuesday night to approve a renewal of a special property tax. The measure will now be placed on the 2026 ballot giving Duval County voters the final choice.<\/p>\n
The referendum, originally passed by voters in 2022, provides revenue for teacher salaries, campus security, and student activities. Proponents say the 1-mill tax, equivalent to $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value, is vital for filling chronic funding gaps.<\/p>\n
If voters approve the extension, the renewed tax would take effect on July 1, 2027, and expire June 30, 2030.<\/p>\n
