The Henry County Board of Education will host three meetings in the upcoming weeks regarding the adoption of the millage rate for the 2017-2018 school year. There is no proposed increase as the millage rate is already at its current limit of 20 mills and has been in effect since 2007. Recent increases in property values mean the same millage rate will result in more property tax revenue, which by law triggers the required public hearings. Those meetings are scheduled for July 18 at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. as well as July 25 at 5:30 p.m. The final adoption of the millage rate is set for July 25 at 6 p.m. All of these meetings will take place at the school system’s administrative offices, 33 N. Zack Hinton Pkwy. in McDonough. Information: www.henry.k12.ga.us.
