How Did We Get Here

The State Superintendent is empowered (16-13-31) to send

letters to every school system and county tax collector, telling them how Education Foundation dollars are to be spent.

The State Superintendent told Madison County- you have

been paying too much for 1800 Madison City students residing in Limestone County- so stop.

The State Superintendent told Limestone County- you have

not been paying for 1800 Madison City students residing in Limestone County- so start paying.

Limestone County refused to pay and sued Dee Fowler and

the Board.

Madison County, Huntsville City, and the State

Superintendent asked to be joined to the suit, and were allowed to do so.

Madison City taxpayers living in Limestone County are paying

ad valorem and sales taxes for the purpose of education and receive NO benefit.

Myth vs Fact

Myth- Madison is a rich district.

Fact-In per/pupil spending both Athens and Limestone County

spend more than Madison.

Myth- All the disputed money is in escrow.

Fact-The only money in escrow is the ad valorem.

Myth-There is nothing we can do - the matter is in litigation.

Fact- Only the ad valorem is in litigation. Fact- The litigation will take years to reach conclusion – we do not

have years to wait.

Fact- A state law can make the current litigation and appeals moot. Fact- Everyone can use their influence for a fair result.

Myth- Madison City will not come to the negotiation table.

Fact- We have tried relentlessly to set meetings, to no avail.
