No increase in school taxes slated for Madison County

By
Katie Eubanks

 

DESPITE LESS IN state funding, Madison County Schools 2012-2013 budget has no tax hike and a (small) pay raise for teachers.

Funding from the state has been reduced from $51 million to $46 million for the district, which will adjust its budget accordingly rather than raise the millage rate.

District officials will use less money for paying down bonds and more for operations.
