WHO:  Broward County School Board Members, Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) Superintendent, BCPS Staff and Representatives from the Broward Teachers    Union, Broward Principals and Assistants Association, and the Federation of Public Employees 

WHAT: Learn about the referendum renewal that will appear on the August 23, 2022, primary election ballot. The new Secure the Next Generation referendum would increase voters’ investment in education from a half-mill to one mill to continue securing funds for all public schools – and now includes charter schools as well.

WHEN:  Tuesday, July 26, 2022

               9:30 a.m.

                           

WHERE: Kathleen C. Wright Administration Center, Pre-function Room

               600 S.E. Third Avenue

                Fort Lauderdale, FL  33301

                   

WHY:  funds from the half-mill referendum that voters approved in 2018 are set to expire. Those funds support over 500 school safety personnel, 100 mental health professionals, and approximately $82 million in salary supplements for teachers and eligible staff, to compete with neighboring school districts. Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the referendum.
