At our Board of Education meeting last week, the LC Board set the new property tax rate at 62.0 cents for every $100 of property value. This is a small increase (from 58.9), which comes to about $31 more per year for a home valued at $100,000. This small increase is important because it makes the Lawrence County school buildings eligible to receive matching funds from the state for use on facilities. Only 0.1 cents of the increase is recallable, which would be about $1 for every $100,000 of assessed property value for a year. If this amount were to be recalled, LC would not receive those matching funds from the state to use on school buildings.
Included is a link to the presentation that was shared at the meeting. It explains all of this in more detail so you have the facts that were shared.

There’s been a fire on Powhatan Street. Louisa East is not impacted, but buses can’t reach the usual drop-off. Bus riders will be dropped off at the middle school, then transported to East after school begins. Parent drop-off will continue as normal. Thank you for your understanding.
