Tax Allocation District Consent Inquiries

The Henry County Board of Education strives to be wise stewards of public funds. The Georgia Constitution requires that tax funds generated in support of public education be used exclusively for that purpose and the Board regards this constitutional requirement as the creation of a fiduciary obligation of the highest order.

In 2009, the Georgia Constitution was amended to allow school boards to contribute education taxes to Tax Allocation Districts. The Board recognizes the economic vitality of our communities plays a key role in students’ well-being and as such created Board Policy DFA - Local Tax Revenues - to establish the process and parameters by which inclusion of education taxes to support redevelopment within a tax allocation district may be considered without detriment to the Board’s constitutional mission of education.
