Officials in Broward County, Florida, might need to enroll in some remedial Spanish classes.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel is reporting that school board and county office officials approved a Spanish translation of a ballot measure containing glaring errors. The English text of the measure, introduced by members of the school board back in July, asks voters to approve a property tax increase to raise teacher salaries, hire school resource officers, and create new mental health resources for K-12 students. The measure would double the local property tax rate from a half-mill to one mill, meaning that Broward County would go from collecting $50 per $100,000 of taxable value in property values to $100.
