Miami‑Dade, it’s time to Secure Our Future!
On November 3, 2026, voters will decide whether to renew the Secure Our Future Referendum, and YES keeps the momentum going for our students, teachers, and schools!
💥 Why YES matters:
M‑DCPS is an A‑rated District of Distinction, with a 95% graduation rate, over 33,700 AP students, and the Class of 2026 earning $649 million in scholarships. Our schools are thriving, and the referendum helps keep it that way.
👩🏫 YES = Continued support for teachers
The renewal keeps salary supplements for nearly 16,500 instructional personnel, 41% of whom hold advanced degrees and bring an average of 16.5 years of experience to our classrooms.
🛡️ YES = Stronger school safety
A school police officer at every M‑DCPS campus, 18,000+ surveillance cameras, and 30,000+ staff trained in Youth Mental Health First Aid, all supported by referendum funds.
🌍 YES = More innovation & choice
From 93 Cambridge programs, 24 IB programs, and 67,000 magnet students, to 200,000+ students learning foreign languages, YES keeps Miami‑Dade the #1 Magnet District in the nation.
👀 YES = Transparency & accountability
Funds are monitored by the Secure Our Future Advisory Committee, an independent citizens’ oversight group ensuring dollars are spent exactly as voters intended.
📣 Your vote shapes the next four years!
Let’s keep our schools strong, safe, innovative, and thriving!
