DeKalb parents and property owners can have their final say on the DeKalb School System’s proposed millage rate increase on July 9.

The DeKalb School Board is hosting its final hearings at noon and at 5 p.m. in the school district’s Administrative and Instructional Complex, 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd. in Stone Mountain.

The School Board voted 5-4 on June 21 to raise taxes for the first time in 10 years.

Board members are considering a 1-mill rate increase that will cost the owner of a $100,000 home an extra $27.50 more a year.

The vote will take place at the board meeting that starts at 6 p.m.

If approved, the millage increase would raise $14.8 million in revenues for the school district.
