Union County Public Schools will be hosting a series of Community Information Meetings starting next week regarding the 0.5% (half of one percent) school occupational tax. At these meetings, Superintendent Patricia Sheffer will review the district's financial status, district challenges, and rationale for the occupational tax. There will be time at each meeting for public questions and comments.
We encourage the public to attend these meetings to learn first-hand what is happening with the budget of Union County Public Schools and how the school occupational tax will help to maintain and improve the educational system of Union County.
The Community Information meetings are each scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. at Sturgis Elementary on Tuesday 5/12, at Morganfield Elementary on Thursday 5/14, and at Uniontown Elementary on Monday 5/18.
