A Hope Board of Education statement says it will not raise school millage beyond 18 mills at the next election and will push for equalized assessments with the equalization board and tax assessor. The piece critiques Arkansas’s voluntary assessing system, notes last November’s abolition of the 18-mill deadline, and warns continuing high millage could strain school finances if districts follow the easy route to higher taxes.
