For more than a decade, the half-cent sales tax has provided a reliable, transparent way to invest in Leon County’s public schools—funding critical improvements like safer campuses, modern classrooms, and essential facility upgrades at every school. Because the tax is dedicated to capital projects, it protects classroom dollars for teachers and students while ensuring buildings are maintained without shifting the burden to property taxes. Even better, visitors and commuters help share the cost, making it one of the most efficient and fair ways to support local schools. The impact is real, visible, and community-wide.
