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.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS! 🔔 Every Day Counts at Keystone Heights Elementary!
Did you know that regular school attendance plays a massive role in our Indians' success? Showing up today builds a brighter tomorrow for every student! ✨
📊 The Stats Speak for Themselves:
2.5x More Likely: Students with regular attendance are 2.5 times more likely to be on grade level in reading and math!
Avoid Being Off-Track: Chronically absent students (missing 10% or more of school) are 4 times more likely to fall off track for graduation.
On-Time Graduation: Consistent attendance builds strong foundational habits to graduate on time and unlocks more future opportunities!
When our KHES students are present, they build stronger relationships, gain higher confidence, develop key life skills, and lay the groundwork for achieving their goals. 📚💜
Let's work together as a school community to help our students show up, learn more, and stand out!
📲 Stay Connected: Keep track of your student's daily attendance and academic progress anytime using the Focus Parent Portal or the OneClay App.
