Income Tax May Return to Jackson County for Teachers
Estimates by the state gross income tax division suggest Jackson County may receive about 83 400 for school teachers if the May 1 law yields sufficient revenue. Distributions would be based on average daily attendance with 600 per teacher and 35 or 25 ADA thresholds for grades and high schools. In Seymour the county could gain 25 200 and Brownstown 7 200, with property taxes needing about 37 cents levy to cover shortfalls if no money is returned.
