Here are the top five stories in Orlando today:

1. Orange County voters will be asked during the August 23 primary election if they want to extend a special property tax that for 12 years has helped pay for teachers' salaries and for arts, sports, and extracurricular activities for students. If the vote fails, the school district's 2023 budget would need to be cut by about $177 million. (Subscription: Orlando Sentinel)

2. Four people, including a 3-year-old child, were injured Sunday afternoon when a car drove through a toll booth and onto Daytona Beach before going into the ocean, according to Volusia County Beach Patrol. The driver reportedly had a medical episode before the incident. (Click Orlando)
