What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Jacksonville Civic Council urged Duval County voters to renew a one-mill property tax in November. This tax, first approved in 2022, would determine whether funding continues for another four years. The council stated that if the renewal is rejected, teacher pay would decrease by an average of $8,500 annually. The council also urged voters to reject Amendment 3, which proposes increasing the homestead exemption.
