Ballot summary
Referendum Renewal of Existing Ad Valorem Levy for Teachers, Instructional Personnel, Student Safety and Security. Shall the School Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida, maintain the existing one (1) mill ad valorem tax levy exclusively for school operational purposes at Miami-Dade County Public Schools, including public charter schools, to continue improving compensation for teachers and instructional personnel and to improve student safety and school security with oversight by a Citizen Advisory Committee beginning July 1, 2027, and ending June 30, 2031?
A "Yes" vote means
A YES vote continues the existing one-mill school property tax ($1 per $1,000 of taxable value) for four more years, July 2027 through June 2031, for teacher and instructional pay and school security, shared with charter schools and overseen by a citizen committee.
A "No" vote means
A NO vote lets the one-mill levy expire after June 30, 2027, ending that revenue for pay supplements and security unless replaced from other sources.
Official wording copied from the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections' final General Election master ballot fetched Sept. 18, 2026). Miami-Dade voters first approved the levy in 2018 and renewed it in 2022.
