JUST IN | Council voted 14-5 in favor of the measure, which Jacksonville City Council President Sam Newby called “a no-brainer.”

– A measure requested by the Duval County School Board that puts a property tax referendum on the August ballot faced a final reading and vote Tuesday night.

The property tax increase would be for one millage rate over four years. The proposal was recommended by Duval County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene. “The law is clear. This is up to the district. This will go to the voters if the district decides that and they did back in March. They voted 6-1 to do this,” Mullaney explained.“What is this designed to do? Sixty-five percent of that $80 million has to go to salaries. The superintendent argues that this is an area of great need. There’s a shortage of teachers, that this is a problem,” Mullaney said.
