📢 MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD📢 In 2018, voters approved a half-mill property tax referendum to fund critical operational needs throughout the Martin County School District. A portion of the funding was used to enhance academic offerings, including the AVID program, a comprehensive curriculum designed to close opportunity gaps for all children while preparing them for post-secondary success. Now, the School Board would like to know which types of initiatives you think should be implemented or continued if the millage renewal is approved by voters in August 2022.
