Why is the 1 mill back on the ballot this November?
The current 1-mill was approved by Duval County voters in 2022, and under Florida law, voters must consider its continuation every four years.
The 1 mill has helped support teacher compensation and efforts to recruit and retain qualified, certified educators. Since 2022, teacher vacancies have declined, teacher retention has increased, and Duval County Public Schools has become an A-rated district for two consecutive years.
As we approach the November election, we’ll be sharing factual information to help our school community understand what the 1 mill is, how the funding is used, and what voters will be asked to consider.

Why study vocabulary? The more words you know, the better you can understand what you read, communicate your ideas, and tackle challenging questions, especially on the ACT and SAT.
Learn the word, Use the word. Remember the word.
Check out this week's five vocabulary words and challenge yourself to use at least one of them in conversation or in writing this week!

Each week, we will share five SAT/ACT Vocabulary Words with our students, families, and community.
Why? Because strong vocabulary is a powerful tool for success. The words students encounter on the SAT, ACT, in college courses, and in their future careers are often academic words that require more than memorizing a definition. Students need to recognize these words, understand them in context, and use them to think critically and communicate clearly.
A few minutes of intentional vocabulary study each week can help students build the language they need to read complex texts, understand challenging questions, analyze information, and express their ideas with confidence.
Our goal is not simply a higher test score. Our goal is to give every student the words they need to unlock opportunities.
Learn the word. Use the word. Elevate your thinking.
