Georgia constitutional amendment to merge Columbus city and Muscogee county schools
The General Assembly would be authorized to pass a special act to merge the independent Columbus school system with the Muscogee County district outside the city limits into a single countywide system. The act would allow county-wide taxes and library provisions, with tax administration either by city and county boards or by a unified public body, and would remove homestead exemptions in this district. The measure references Article VIII Section VII Paragraph II and outlines taxing methods and governance.
