CCSD to discuss millage rate, school year budget, and property taxes

As we go to air today, the Clarke County Board of Education is holding the first of two millage rate hearings, with another one tomorrow at 6:00 with a vote on budget scheduled tomorrow as well. The current school board budget is set to keep the millage rate the same as last year, which could result in an increase in property taxes for some county residents. However, some board and community members are calling for a lowering of the rate. Tim Denson is a member of the Clarke County Board of Education and spoke with WUGA’s Martin Matheny.

Martin Matheny is WUGA's Program Director and a host and producer of our local news program 'Athens News Matters.' He started at WUGA in 2012 as a part-time classical music host and still hosts WUGA's longest-running local program 'Night Music' which is heard on WUGA and GPB Classical. He lives in Normaltown with his wife, Shaye and dog, Murphy.
