Executive Summary
Duval County Public Schools
2026-2027 Tentative Budget
Honorable Board Chairman and Board Members,

July 21, 2026

In preparation for the July 28th First Public Hearing and Meeting, where the Tentative Millage Rates
and Budget will be approved, please find updated budget information below.
TRIM (Truth in Millage)
1. Please find attached the three TRIM Advertisements.
• Notice of Proposed Tax Increase.
• Budget Summary by Fund.
• Notice of School Capital Outlay.
2. Timeline
• July 21st Approval of TRIM (Truth in Millage) advertisements.
• July 25th TRIM advertisements will be published.
• July 28th Public Hearing Number 1 to Approve Tentative Millage Rates and Tentative Budget.
• September 10th Public Hearing Number 2 to Approve Final Millage Rates and Final Budget.
Ten Notable Highlights
1. The total budget for all funds is $3.395B compared to the prior year's final resolution of
$3.411B, which is a decrease of $15M or 0.5%.
 This is primarily a result of a decrease in general funds of $6M, federal funds of $17M,
and internal service funds of $45M, offset by an increase in debt service funds of $14M
and capital projects of $39M.
2. For 2026-27, the beginning fund balance for the general fund increased by $27M or 13% to
approximately $242M, compared to the prior year. Subject to change as we finalize year-end
close.
 Factors that contribute to the increase are:
i. Higher beginning fund balance in 2025-26 of $215M compared to $171M for
2024-25.
ii. Budgeted $10M increase in budgeted average salaries in the prior year.
iii. Hiring freeze, enhanced scrutiny for requests to fill vacancies, and non-filling
of other positions.
iv. Yearlong review and reduction of non-essential expenditures.
v. Increase in federal impact aid revenue.
vi. Maximize utilization of federal and capital transfers.
vii. Improved budgeted practices and processes.
3. The 2026-27 budgeted ending fund balance for the general fund is 5% of revenue, or $66M.
4. The Required Local Effort (RLE) Millage rate decreased by 0.0880 or 2.8% to 3.0070 from
3.0950 in the prior year. The state establishes this rate.
a. Because of higher property values and the decrease in the RLE, the local revenue
increased by $11M, or 3%, to $386M compared to the prior year of $376M. All the
other millage rates remained the same.
Page10
1 of 24

Page 11 of 34

b. State funding increased by $647K, to $669.5M, or less than one-tenth of 1%, compared
to the prior year of $668.9M.
5. School Taxable Values increased by $7.6B to $134B, which is a 6% increase compared to the
prior year of $126B. The increase in 2025-26 compared to the prior year was $7.2B or 6.1%.
6. The District’s outstanding total long-term debt is approximately $708M.
a. $119M, or 16%, matures from 2026 to 2028.
b. $633M, or 84%, matures from 2033 to 2035.
7. Charter Schools account for approximately 20% of the District’s FTE.
 Total current payments in 2025-26 are approximately $331M, broken down below. The
same amount is expected for 2026-27.
i. $270M from FEFP or general funds.
ii. $10M from 1.5 Millage or capital funds.
iii. $22M from Sales Tax funds.
iv. $16M from State Capital Outlay funds.
v. $13M from Federal funds.
8. District funding for Family Empowerment Scholarships increased by $31M, or 14%, to $252M
compared to $220M for the prior year.
9. The total FEFP Funding for the District increased by $47M for 2026-27.
a. Less the increase for Family Empowerment Scholarships of $31M.
b. Balance for the District, including Charter Schools, of $16M.
c. The 2026-27 second FEFP calculation was received mid-July, and funding for the
District decreased by $169K compared to the first FEFP calculation for various line
items.
d. The district also received $3.4M for declining enrollment from SY 2025-26 and $759K
from a prior-period funding adjustment millage.
10. The District Unweighted Full-Time Equivalent (UFTE) increased by 3,408 or 2%.
a. Of the 3,408 increase, 3,141 or 92% is related to the increase in Family Empowerment
Scholarships (FES) UFTE.
b. The FES UFTE increased from 25,655 to 28,796, or 3,141, or a 12% increase.
c. This leaves an increase of 268 UFTE or 0.21% for the District and Charter Schools.
d. Since 2021-22, the District’s UFTE has decreased by 5%, compared to an increase for
charter schools of 40% and an increase of 257% for Family Empowerment
Scholarships.
Budget Process
The work began on the 2026-27 budget in January 2026 and continues until September 2026. The key areas of
the budget process are:
• Modifications to the Staff Allocation Model (SAM).
• Zero-Based & Return on Investment budgeting for divisions.
• Maximize transfers into the general fund and shift expenditures out of the general fund.
• Updated budgeted average salaries, health insurance contributions, and Florida Retirement System
(FRS) changes.
• Ongoing review of school consolidations and closures and continual review of vacancies and staffing
levels.
• Trimmed or eliminated existing contractual agreements and reduced central office support and costs.
• Enhancement to the enrollment division with improved strategies on recruitment and retention of
students.
• Statutory compliance with Truth in Millage (TRIM) documents and Board Approval.
