What happened
Voters in several Florida school districts will decide on renewing a local $1 million property tax referendum in less than two weeks. This referendum is tied directly to teacher pay and school district funding. If the referendum is not renewed, nearly 900 teachers in the Palm Beach County School District could face an average pay cut of $8,000 annually. The funds support salaries for various teachers, as well as security measures and behavioral health services.
