It’s the teacher who stays. The safer campus. The first instrument.

Seventy percent of the One Mill goes to employee compensation. This investment helps Nassau County recruit and retain teachers and support staff—not just equip classrooms, but support the people who bring them to life.

You deserve to know what you’re voting for—and what it means for your community.
For a home with $250,000 in taxable value, the One Mill comes to about $250 a year—roughly 70 cents a day to keep great teachers, safe campuses, arts and athletics. Exemptions may lower your amount.
Check the district’s explanationNo. The measure renews the existing voter-approved operating millage of up to 1 mill. Nassau County voters first approved the One Mill in November 2022. Renewal continues that local funding; it does not mean your total tax bill is fixed. Taxable property values and other levies can change.
District renewal informationThe rate is $1 for every $1,000 of taxable property value—not the sale price or market value of a home. For a home with $250,000 in taxable value, a full 1-mill levy is about $250 a year—roughly 70 cents a day. At $300,000 in taxable value, it is about $300 a year. Exemptions such as homestead may lower your taxable value, and your total depends on your property.
District renewal informationThe district identifies the proposed renewal term as four years. The current authorization ends December 31, 2026, unless renewed by voters. The renewal is on the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot.
District renewal informationYes. The 70% employee compensation allocation supports instructional and non-instructional employees. Compensation is negotiated with the Nassau Teachers Association and Nassau Educational Support Professionals Association, with amounts varying by teaching experience or contract days.
District renewal informationThe district publishes Millage Update booklets and accountability reports, including the 2024–2025 Millage Referendum Citizens Oversight Committee annual report. Read the original materials linked below to review spending and the documented improvements for yourself.
District renewal informationThe current authorization expires December 31, 2026. Without renewal, this voter-approved local revenue would not continue under that authorization. The committee supports renewal to sustain the compensation, safety, arts and athletics investments it funds. Specific future budget decisions would be made by the district; we do not claim that particular programs would automatically close.
District renewal informationSupport continuation of the One Mill for Nassau County public schools. On the school millage referendum, select “Yes (for continuation).”
