MILLAGE IS BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
Your Tax Dollars Investing in Our Students
On Tuesday, March 20, 2018, a majority of Manatee County voters approved a 1-mill referendum to enhance funding for school district
operational needs. As a result of the passage of the 1-Mill Referendum: Students now receive 30 more minutes of instruction daily, or
one full year of additional instructional time during their K-12 career; Salaries for teachers and other school-related staff have been
increased, allowing Manatee County to be more competitive with surrounding counties when recruiting and retaining top-quality educators
and support personnel; Career & Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) programs have been
enhanced, benefiting both students (as future employees) and their prospective employers.
