This website is intended to educate the public on the millage referendum. In proposing a millage referendum to voters, our district has a responsibility to educate the public on the vital needs a millage would address, how millage revenue would be invested to positively impact students and our community, and the transparency and accountability measures in place to ensure that impact is delivered. Section 106.011, Florida Statutes, both precludes the school district from expending taxpayer funds for a political advertisement or other communications sent to electors concerning a referendum and specifically allows the following from the school district to inform the public: “reporting on official actions of the local government’s governing body in an accurate, fair, and impartial manner; posting factual information on a government website or in printed materials; hosting and providing information at a public forum; providing factual information in response to an inquiry; or providing information as otherwise authorized or required by law.”
