📢 Don’t Get Them Confused!

Amendment 3 and the Duval County Public Schools 1-mill referendum are two separate items on the November 3 ballot.

🏫 The 1-mill referendum is a continuation of the millage approved by Duval County voters in 2022. It supports school funding, including teacher pay, as well as arts and athletics.

🏠 Amendment 3 is a proposed change to the Florida Constitution addressing property taxes statewide. The amendment excludes school funding.

Take a look at the graphic for a quick side-by-side comparison and visit www.DuvalSchools.org/Vote for more information about the 1-mill referendum.

As part of our district's commitment to student health, safety, and emergency preparedness, our Physical Education and Health programs proudly participated in the World Heart Day "RESPOND" Initiative on September 29.Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to learn, practice, and share Hands-Only CPR, reinforcing the important message:

❤️ "You can be the reason someone lives."

Students learned that if a person suddenly collapses, is unresponsive, and is not breathing normally, they should:

✅ Call 911
✅ Send someone to retrieve an AED
✅ Begin Hands-Only CPR immediately
