Miami-Dade, Broward Voters Approve School Tax Renewal
Voters in Miami-Dade County approved renewal of a school tax referendum by more than 81% during Tuesday's midterm election, continuing funding for teacher compensation and school safety through 2031. The measure supports more than 300,000 public and charter school students and was first approved in 2018 before being renewed in 2022. In Broward County, just over 66% of voters approved their respective school tax referendum renewal, marking the highest percentage since the first referendum passed in 2018. Miami-Dade Superintendent Rafael A. Villalobos and Broward Superintendent Dr. Howard Hepburn both issued statements thanking voters for their support.
