The 2014 SC Education Capital Improvements Sales and Use Tax Act requires

any district to use 10% of the 1 cent proceeds to reduce property taxes by offsetting the existing debt service millage levy on general obligation. However, the Anderson One Board of Trustees has promised to use 20%.

$4,400,000 X .20 = $880,000 to Debt Service

$880,000 is equal to 4.9 Mills
