While Tuesday night represented a big win for supporters of Duval County’s property tax referendum to fund pay raises for teachers, it could be longer than expected before that revenue lands in teachers’ paychecks.
Holland added that it’s entirely possible that Duval County teachers may not see the benefits on their paycheck from the millage rate increase until next school year.
A memo Wednesday afternoon from Duval Teachers United told its members that “how much revenue will be provided to education is contingent upon the amount of revenue collected by the one mill.”Taxpayers are now left wondering what’s next — and when the increased rate would be hitting their bills.The bump in the millage rate for public schools by one mill shakes out to about an additional $275 a year for a property appraised at $300,000.
On Sept. 6, the Duval County School Board is scheduled to approve the final budget for the academic year. District leaders are still facing a major shortage of teachers and staff, and School Board Chairman Daryll Willie said there’s still work to do.
