Commissioners approve school bond support for new East Laurens School
Summary
Laurens County commissioners agreed to support the School Board’s bond plan for construction of the new East Laurens School and acknowledged the county must agree to any millage the School Board adopts to pay bond debt.
Ryan Dixon presented the School Board’s plan to issue bonds to finance construction of the new East Laurens School and explained that, by law, the county commissioners must agree to adopt the millage rate the School Board approves to repay bond expenditures. Following Mr. Dixon’s presentation, Commissioner Kevin Tanner moved to approve the bond support; Commissioner Gerad Mathis seconded and the motion passed with all commissioners voting in favor.
The transcript does not identify the bond amount or the exact millage rate; Mr. Dixon described the county role in adopting millage as a statutory requirement but did not cite a specific statute in the meeting record. The meeting record shows board approval to proceed with the bond-support action; further details will be set by the School Board and subsequent public notices if required.
