Officials urge voters to approve renewal referendums for supplemental school funding in Miami-Dade and Broward counties on November 3. The measures, appearing as Question 268 in Miami-Dade and School Board Question #1 in Broward, extend existing property tax levies for teacher pay, safety, and mental health services. Approval would prevent the expiration of current funding streams, with Miami-Dade's extension running through June 2031 and Broward's through December 2030.
