DARLINGTON — Members of the Darlington County School District Board of Education discussed the 2008-09 budget and how Act 388, the property tax relief law and rising fuel costs have impacted the district during a budget work session Friday.
The district’s proposed 2008-09 general operating budget totals $76,703,190.
G.C. White, the district’s comptroller, said the district lost $129,000 because of Act 388. The law swapped a 1-cent sales tax for property taxes on owner-occupied homes, meaning owner-occupied residential property is exempted from school operating millage.
