Scrivner added: “That should come as no surprise, given this is the same group that last year strongly supported Amendment 2, a measure soundly rejected by voters here in Jessamine County and across Kentucky because it would have weakened public education.”

“Calling this an ‘excessive tax hike’ is simply misleading. The costs of operating a school system continue to rise, and keeping the current rate ensures that we can sustain safe, supportive and high-quality learning environments for our 8,000 students.” Scrivner noted that individual tax bills are tied to property assessments conducted by the Property Valuation Administrator, not the school board.
