Please go to www.change4kids2024.com and show your support!!! Now is the time…voters are casting their votes! It has been over 20 years since nearly 60% of the voters of Orange County first passed the ½ penny sales tax to benefit Orange County Public Schools. Since then, the tax has raised more than $4 billion (with more than 50% collected from tourists and non-residents) and has helped the district fund the improvement or replacement of 136 schools and open 65 new schools. The ½ penny sales tax will expire this year, unless voters decide to continue it on November 5th. Over the next decade, we estimate the district will need nearly $4 billion more than what is currently available to continue maintaining current schools and continue to meet the growing population growth. We are just over 20 days away from the election in a very chaotic environment for voters. The continuation of the half penny sales tax is the very last question on a very lengthy ballot. While voters have supported it in the past, our concern is they will have “ballot fatigue” and not make it to the end of their ballot. Simply put, they are urgently in need of funding to communicate to voters and let them know this important referendum is on the ballot. We cannot risk the continuation of this important funding source for our schools. Without it, our school district will be short $4 billion with no other federal or state resources to assist with capital needs. Not only will this have a devasting impact on our schools, but it will also greatly impact our engineering/design/construction and related industries who complete so much work for OCPS.
