We are officially a Purple Star District! 💜⭐️
Today, on Veterans Day, the Florida Department of Education announced that Clay County District Schools has been designated as a Purple Star District for our commitment to military families, making us one of ONLY 9 school districts in the entire state of Florida to earn this prestigious honor!
To achieve district-wide recognition, at least 75% of a district's schools must earn their individual Purple Star School of Distinction status. We are thrilled to share that ALL of our eligible OneClay schools are now officially Purple Star Schools!
This recognition reflects our dedicated, year-round commitment to supporting our military families and their students. We understand the unique transitions and challenges that come with military life, and we work every day to provide a welcoming, supportive, and empowering educational environment for the children of those who serve our country.
To our military families: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and for trusting us with your students' education. We are so proud to stand with you! ❤️🤍💙

On November 3, Clay County voters will consider the renewal of the existing One Mill ad valorem funding for four years (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2031).
Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:
School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.
Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.
All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.
