Clayton County Public Schools is the latest metro Atlanta district seeking to maintain its current millage rate, which would mean higher taxes to homeowners as home values continue to rise.
Officials announced three public hearings to keep the millage rate at 19.095 mills, which would increase school tax collections by about 1.5 percent. District officials opted not to use a rollback rate, which allows the district to collect the same amount from taxes as the previous year.
Cobb County Schools announced plans last week for public hearings to maintain its current millage rate, which has not changed since 2007. DeKalb County School District officials approved a reduced millage rate last month.
Meetings are scheduled July 14 at 6 p.m. and on July 25 at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the administration headquarters, 1058 Fifth Ave. in Jonesboro.
