Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, September 15, 2026 —
Officials and educators across South Florida are calling on voters to support the renewal of essential funding referendums that are slated to expire. Districts, including the large Miami-Dade and Broward County public school systems, are highlighting the importance of these measures for maintaining current educational and safety standards.
The funding in question is critical for several key areas within the school districts. A significant portion is designated for providing supplemental pay for teachers and staff, aiming to retain and attract qualified personnel. In addition, these referendums support the vital roles of school safety officers and mental health professionals, resources that are considered indispensable for student well-being and campus security.
These funding measures are scheduled to expire if they are not re-approved by voters. The upcoming November election presents the opportunity for the public to weigh in on their continuation. The outcome of this vote will determine whether these crucial programs and personnel allocations will receive continued financial support. The exact impact on budgets and specific program continuity remains contingent on voter approval.
