About Our Hernando Political Action Committee
The School Board of Hernando County asked voters to approve a 1 mill increase in the property millage rate to recruit and retain quality teachers, keep students safe and expand successful academic and career and technical programs. Early polls showed 64% voting against it, and the Political Action Committee lacked funding to implement an expansive campaign.
Goal
Community Reach & Stakeholder Engagement
Result
62% of voters approved the additional property tax to increase teacher salaries, hire a School Resource Officer at every school and expand successful academic programs, including career and technical courses.
