Summary
On March 10 the St. Lucie County School Board voted 5-0 to adopt a resolution authorizing a referendum election to continue levying 1 mill for operational needs of the district; the superintendent recommended the resolution and members approved it without discussion.
During his report Superintendent Dr. Prince recommended the board adopt a resolution, with any revisions the board determined appropriate, to place a referendum before voters to continue levying one mill for operational needs of the school district.
A board member moved to approve the resolution, and the board voted in favor. The motion was recorded as carrying 5-0.
The resolution authorizes staff to proceed with administrative steps to place the question on a referendum ballot; the district did not specify an exact election date at the meeting nor provide a full text of the ballot question during the public session. No public testimony on the resolution was recorded at the meeting.
Next procedural steps discussed at the meeting included preparing the resolution text and any necessary clerical revisions, and coordination by the superintendent and district staff to submit ballot materials according to county election deadlines.
The board did not attach funding or implementation language beyond the statement that the levy would fund operational needs. Additional public notices, legal advertising and final ballot language will follow standard election procedures managed by county supervisors of elections.
