The resolution on the agenda for Thursday’s school board meeting in Nassau County would ask voters in the Nov. 8 election to increase the county’s millage rate to help boost teacher pay, enhance athletics and fine arts programs and make schools safer.

“The education funds available through traditional means, such as the state funding formula and the required local millage option, do not give the Board the resources to continue improving and providing the excellence in education that students deserve,” the resolution states.

Notably, the resolution also cites how recent “categorical funding” to raise the state’s average minimum salary for starting teachers has resulted in a pay disparity between new and veteran educators.State law has also chipped away at local millage rates. Since 2008, Nassau County’s property tax rate went from 5.64 to 4.47.
