Community leaders and school officials push county tax renewal

By Jamal Thomas

Montgomery, AL- Recently, the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a media event, underscoring the critical significance of the upcoming 3.5 county tax millage renewal vote for education on March 5th.

They are emphasizing the importance of voting in favor on the tax renewal and how it is critical for the future of education and our youth as a whole.

These funds are used for essential resources such as teacher units, extracurricular activities, athletics, facility maintenance, professional development, security, and transportation needs in Pike Road and Montgomery public schools.

The March 5 renewal vote directly impacts the future of education in Montgomery County. The 3.5 county tax millage generates an estimated $11 million annually for Montgomery Public Schools (MPS) and $1.2M for the Pike Road Schools (PRS).

This is not a new tax and it was first approved in 1984 and last renewed two decades ago, showing its enduring commitment to education.
