Summary
Wilson County commissioners approved a $2 million allocation from dedicated sales tax proceeds for Wilson County Schools to contract with Oakley Collier and Associates for work at Frederick Douglass Elementary School.
The Wilson County Board of Commissioners approved the school system's request to allocate $2,000,000 from dedicated sales tax (Article) funds to Wilson County Schools to contract with Oakley Collier and Associates for work on Frederick Douglass Elementary School.
County staff reported that the school board had recently approved the request and that the $2 million will come from the county's dedicated sales-tax capital dollars.
