1 Cent Makes Sense
Based on the monies generated through homeowner property taxes alone (currently the district’s only source of funding for capital improvements), it’s estimated that it will take three decades to generate the funding needed to support improvements to North Augusta High School and Aiken High School, two schools with the greatest need in terms of updates, expansions and renovations, and many more to address the needs in schools throughout the county.
Instead of all school construction and maintenance costs being supported by homeowners from property taxes alone, the proposed referendum would allow funding for capital improvements in schools to be generated from Aiken County residents and non-residents who would pay an additional penny in sales tax on most purchases.
The Penny Sales Tax referendum would allow the responsibility of updating Aiken County’s Public Schools to be shared among Aiken and North Augusta’s homeowners, renters and tourists and would result in an estimated increase in available spending of $125 million over the next 10 years.
