Sumter County Council Tuesday evening denied a request from Sumter School District for a millage increase during its regular meeting.
Sumter School District’s millage will remain at 160.1, as it was last year. The decision by Council followed a nearly hourlong special meeting prior to the regular meeting during which Sumter School District Superintendent Dr. Debbie Hamm provided council members with information and answered many questions about the district’s past, its current outlook and plans for the future.
