During a visit to Mandarin Oaks Elementary, Superintendent Dr. Christopher Bernier spent time in classrooms seeing the incredible work our teachers do every day to help students reach their fullest potential.
Our classroom teachers are a key part of what has helped Duval County Public Schools become an A-rated district for two consecutive years.
The 1 mill, approved by voters in 2022, has helped support teacher compensation, reduce teacher vacancies, and improve teacher retention. Learn more about the 1-mill referendum and the progress happening across Team Duval by visiting our website.
For Teachers. For Students. For Duval. Our Progress Continues.

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.
