School board faces millage rollback ruling on maintenace fund
Sarasota County officials debate lowering the 1.25 capital outlay millage to 0.83 to fund a $10 million maintenance program. County Property Appraiser John Mikos says the same rate would now raise $8.5 million, but state statutes mandate collection from last year’s 1.25 mills, and school attorney Richard Cooney issued a memorandum confirming no rollback.
