It will generate about $17 million for the district, and cost homeowners about $23 for every $100,000 their houses are worth.</p><p>The revenue will be used to support the district's dozens of new assistant principals and updates to the JCPS transportation plan.</p> Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:36:46 +0000 Gabe Bullard 1473 at http://wfpl.org
