Greenland Pines Cougars help us inform the community! What will voters see on the ballot this November?

The ballot language shows that funding will continue to support teacher and staff compensation, as well as arts and athletics.

We’re sharing the official language so our community can understand exactly what will appear on the November 3 ballot.

For Teachers. For Students. For Duval. Our Progress Continues.

Why is the 1 mill back on the ballot this November?

The current 1-mill was approved by Duval County voters in 2022, and under Florida law, voters must consider its continuation every four years.

The 1 mill has helped support teacher compensation and efforts to recruit and retain qualified, certified educators. Since 2022, teacher vacancies have declined, teacher retention has increased, and Duval County Public Schools has become an A-rated district for two consecutive years.

As we approach the November election, we’ll be sharing factual information to help our school community understand what the 1 mill is, how the funding is used, and what voters will be asked to consider.

Help us grow our gardens! 🪴

🌱 Let’s GROW something amazing together! 💚

Our kindergarten GPE students and teachers need our help! They are fundraising for Mrs. Nguyen’s DonorsChoose Project to invest in a school garden project that will inspire our little learners to GROW, LEARN, and THRIVE! 🪴✨

Every single dollar helps, but Mrs. Nguyen will only receive these materials if the project is fully funded by November 10. ⏰

👉 Donate here: https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/4C3BN9rttz

Even if you aren't able to donate right now, a quick share goes a long way in helping us reach our goal. Let's come together and support our amazing kindergarteners! 💛

💚💛 Thank You, Families! 💛💚

A huge THANK YOU to our Greenland Pines families for your patience and understanding during today’s rainy dismissal and severe weather. Keeping our Cougars safe is always our top priority, and we truly appreciate everyone working with us as we navigated the weather. 🐾⛈️

A very special shoutout to Mrs. Aderholt, who braved the rain to help ensure our students were dismissed safely and as quickly as possible! ☔️💚

We are also incredibly thankful for all of our teachers and staff who jumped in, supported our students, and helped keep dismissal moving despite the challenging conditions.

Days like today are a perfect reminder of what it means to be One Team. One Goal. ! 🐾💚💛
