Clayton County Schools
Summary: Clayton County
Public Schools will operate on a 2005-2006 budget of $332,172,530. Of that
amount, $124,500,000 will be funded by property tax dollars. The School Board
adopted a millage rate of 18.916, the same rate as last year.
The mathematically-correct
millage rate is 17.611, 1.305 mills lower.
The arbitrarily high rate
proposed by the School Board will overtax Clayton County property owners by at least
$9,225,000 more than is
necessary to fully fund this year's budget.
The owner of a $150,000** home in
Clayton County will pay $1,134.96 in property taxes for schools, about $78.30
more than what
would be required with a mathematically-correct millage rate.
