Fulton school tax rate to stay unchanged

For the fourth straight year, the Fulton County school tax will remain unchanged. At a called meeting Monday, the school board approved a 2014 tax rate of 18.502 mills. Officials said they believe Fulton continues to have the lowest school tax in metro Atlanta. “Because of the school board’s sound financial management, we’re again able to keep our millage rates the same,” said Superintendent Robert Avossa. “I commend the board’s commitment to appropriately funding our school system’s budget initiatives while also being mindful of our taxpayers.”
