Broward School Board approves funding plan for teacher salaries ahead of referendum
Broward County School Board has approved a plan to allocate nearly $300 million from a proposed 2026 operating referendum, with 90% dedicated to raising teacher and staff salaries and the rest supporting safety and mental health services. The renewal measure, costing the average homeowner about $400 a year, now heads to voters as the district faces budget shortfalls and staff layoffs.
