He said if the tax relief issue is administrated correctly, it shouldn’t harm teachers or children. “And I believe it’s not going to go away until the taxpaying citizenry believes that they’ve been treated fairly and represented by their elected school board member.” “This issue of senior tax relief is a community issue,” Foster said.

Miller said the proposed option is feasible for the school system, although it will require getting leaner in the budget.
