The Manatee County School District is asking voters to approve a 1-mill referendum in the upcoming election to maintain essential student and staff resources. The proposed measure aims to generate funding for technology enhancements, safety and security investments, competitive educator compensation, and classroom resources.

If approved, the referendum would provide funding for up-to-date technology, maintain a safe learning environment for students and staff, and help attract and retain high-quality educators and staff through competitive salaries and benefits. Funds will also provide teachers with necessary materials for effective instruction.

District officials state voter support will directly impact students' learning experiences and future success.

More information on the referendum and how funds will be utilized is available on the Manatee County School District website.
