JUST IN: Duval County voters voted in favor of a property tax hike designed in part to help teachers and school staff of public schools in Jacksonville.
The district said the tax is badly needed. It says over the last six years, teacher vacancies have climbed 155%.
Also, according to the district, experienced teachers make roughly the same or slightly higher than first-year teachers. As a result, teachers are moving into different jobs or retiring early, and it’s having an impact on students.
