Due to this growth most of the elementary classrooms will be constructed in this general area. The Clay ton County School officials have done an excellent job in the past ten years in using state and local funds for construc tion of classrooms and keeping the school system off double sessions and keeping all schools accredited. Clayton County is. the only county in Metropoli tan Atlanta that has not exper ienced double sessions or half day sessions for children in the past ten years. This bond issue will be one of the most im portant pieces of legislation proposed to Clayton County voters in recent years. These classrooms will be desperately needed in September of 1970 it the schools are to continue to keep pace with the ad ditional needs of the young people of today. The Clayton County tax digest has exper ienced a similar growth to that ol the school system thereby causing very little tax increase to retire these bonds. It is estimated that a bond levy of 2 mills or less will retire these bonds. This being the case, a $20,000 home should not have more than a $12.00 per year increase in taxes to meet the urgent need of the children in (Jayton County. You will re ceive additional information as to the exact location of the elementary classrooms as rapidly as they become avail able.
