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
$500,000 / $500 / $1.37
$750,000 / $750 / $2.05

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.

Yulee Elementary is proud to recognize Coach Tate for his outstanding dedication to our students and school community. As our Physical Education teacher, Coach Tate inspires students to work hard, do their best, and give 100% in everything they do. Through creative and engaging activities like hula hoop relays, parachute games, and other hands-on learning experiences, he makes fitness fun while teaching valuable life skills.
In addition to his work in PE, Coach Tate serves as our Safety Patrol Sponsor, helping student leaders develop responsibility, confidence, and pride in their school. His positive attitude, commitment to excellence, and ability to build strong relationships with students make him a true role model on our campus.
Thank you, Coach Tate, for the incredible impact you make every day. We are fortunate to have you as part of the Yulee Elementary family!




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.

Our families enjoyed a creative and engaging look at the arts programs that inspire our students every day! During Open House, Ms. Brooks brought a touch of wonder to the music room dressed as Alice in Wonderland, while Ms. Barnes added some sweet creativity as Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka.
Guests explored student artwork, viewed music class showcases, and learned how students develop creativity, self-expression, collaboration, and confidence through the visual and performing arts. From colorful art displays to musical performances and classroom projects, families experienced firsthand the amazing work our students create throughout the school year.
