Nassau County students deserve a world-class education, and that starts with having exceptional teachers in every classroom and dedicated staff supporting them every day. To maintain high academic standards, the School District must remain competitive with surrounding school districts, many of which have access to additional locally approved funding. Referendum dollars provide critical local funding to help Nassau County attract and retain high-quality employees across the District, provide competitive compensation, and ensure our schools have the teachers and staff needed to support student success.

Because this is a renewal of the existing one-mill operating funding, it will not increase the current millage rate. The One Mill Renewal would continue the existing one-mill operating millage. It does not propose an increase to the current one-mill rate. Here is what that looks like in practice based on a home's taxable value:
Taxable Value / Annual Cost (1 Mill) / Approx. Cost per Day
$100,000 / $100 / $0.27
$250,000 / $250 / $0.68
$300,000 / $300 / $0.82

No. This is not a new tax. It is a renewal of the existing one-mill operating millage that Nassau County property owners are already paying. A “YES” vote would continue the existing one-mill operating millage for four years without increasing the millage rate.

The Millage Referendum is a ballot renewal that allows local voters to invest directly in the daily operations of Nassau County schools. Because basic funding from the state legislature is inadequate to cover standard operating expenses, local school districts face severe budget constraints. Renewing this existing voter-approved millage fills these critical financial gaps. By securing these local funds, we protect our classrooms from budget shortfalls, allowing the district to keep the focus entirely on student success, providing competitive teacher and staff pay, continuing to improve safety, art teachers in every elementary school, and supporting athletics district-wide.

Be in school. Be on time. All day. Every day.
Missing just 2 days each month can add up to about 10% of the school year. Help your child make every school day count by building strong attendance habits all year long.
When students are in class, on time and ready to learn, they have more opportunities to build skills, connect with teachers and classmates, and stay on track for success.

🍎✨ Apple Day Fun in First Grade! ✨🍎
Our first grade Little Warriors had a bushel of fun while learning all about apples! 🍏🍎
➖ We practiced subtraction with apple-themed math problems, 🌳 explored the life cycle of an apple tree, and became little chefs as we made our very own applesauce! 🥄👩🍳
👀👃👂✋👅 We also put our five senses to work as we tasted and described apple slices using sensory words like sweet, crunchy, juicy, smooth, and sour!
What a fun way to bring learning to life through hands-on exploration, teamwork, and discovery! ❤️💛
🍏✨ Learning is always a little sweeter with some apple magic! ✨🍎

🎨✨ Our Little Warriors are creating, exploring, and bringing their ideas to life! ✨🎨
The art room is buzzing with creativity as our young artists get hands-on with drawing techniques, painting, and screen printing! 🖌️🖼️
Students are exploring color, composition, texture, and creativity as they learn how artists use different techniques and materials to turn their ideas into works of art.
🎨 Through painting, our artists are experimenting with mixing colors, creating different brushstrokes, and expressing themselves through vibrant artwork.
🖨️ In screen printing, students are learning the exciting process of creating designs, preparing screens, applying ink, and making their very own prints!
✨ These experiences encourage our Little Warriors to problem-solve, think creatively, express themselves, and learn from the artistic process. And sometimes, that process includes a few messy hands along the way! 😉
🎭 Happy National Arts in Education Week! 🎨
This week, we celebrate the incredible impact the arts have on student learning. The arts give students opportunities to express themselves, build confidence, think creatively, collaborate, and discover new ways to see the world. We are proud to provide our Little Warriors with meaningful opportunities to create, explore, and shine!
The art room is full of colorful ideas, creative discoveries, messy hands, and lots of proud young artists! ❤️
We can’t wait to see these amazing projects become finished masterpieces! 🎨✨
