OCPS one-mill property tax renewal on November 3 ballot
Summary
Orange County voters have renewed this one-mill school tax every four years since 2010. It brings in about $255 million a year and funds 1,842 teachers — losing it would cut roughly 10% of the district's operating budget. For the median homeowner ($355,000 assessed), it's about $28 a month, same as they're paying now.
